Books at the end

Books at the end

A Poem by Quinn
"

I've just finished my gcse's and I have all my books. So many people are burning or throwing them and I can't bring myself to do that. (The picture is of all of my books)

"
Two years gone 
Forged in writing
Page after page
Line after line

All the knowledge
All the facts
Many will just throw
Or burn
Or shred

Although our heads
Hold the information
Sometimes the page
Does it better

Sometimes you need
The torn 
The tattered books

Two years gone 
Forged in writing
Page after page
Line after line

I want see them go
I don’t have room
But I just can't
Let them burn
Let them die

Do I keep them
It’ll take space
Pass them on
And spread  knowledge
Spread the facts

Maybe that’s what 
What I should do

Two years gone
Forged in writing
Page after page
Line after line

These books hold more
Than you could 
Ever truly dream

Not just the facts
Not just the work
But the memories

The ink
The pencil
A drop of acid
A tear from a test
It holds so much more

Two years gone 
Forged in writing
Page after page
Line after line

I'll just keep them
Keep them safe
Hold the knowledge
And the facts

Well
All bar one
REAL can burn
