Fahrenheit 451

The book by Ray Bradbury

Bring the knowledge down

As far as the eye can see

A burning book in the horizon

As far as a human can agree

Equally threating each other

Books get destroyed

By a fire, but not just any kind of fire

The fire of not reading them

Every book tells a story

about the author who wrote it

For us

We still aren't finish with our books

A world treated equally would be a disaster

Although it would be in peace

Where we fit in that perfect world?

A world where nothing happens and everything

Is calculated with thousands and thousands of equations

Where would ''we'' come in?

Ourselfs, we would be like anyone else

No surprises, no nothing

No adventures, no reading?

But don't get me wrong

there wouldn't be acts of ignorance in that world

But I guess everything has it's favor and againts

There would be no ''Difference''

No ''Us'' in other words

Since we are all different

But yet the same because we're different

Watch the horizon from the beach

Watch how a ''fire'' can weep knowledge

And hear as far as a human can hear

and watch with both of your eyes

What you believe you're seeing

Sometimes, our eyes play tricks on us

We know what is reality, 

Because we see it with our eyes every day

Let the books be heard for once

Let everyone read a book and learn something new

Someone who has a lot of wisdom

Is considered great for this world.

Author's Note

You know, I was thinking of it, not even a perfect world can be all ''great'' because everything would be according to the plan, no surprises, no joys of life..
But again, in this life we had a bunch of chaos happening, so everything has its favor and againts.
The book struck on me because a world where no one wanted to be different because they are scared of it...
Destroying books so no one can have a different knowledge than the others..
Well at least thats how I think, you the reader may think something else
Which is fine because, that proves one of our differences
Thinking something else than the other, and that what makes science
move one step closer in the stairs

I am an old Bradbury fan... it's good to know he still garners new ones! The ideas in the book, many of which you have expressed here very well, are timeless and always... at any time... important! One of your lines, "Watch how a 'fire' can weep knowledge," puts it just right. Knowledge is precious and it is sad when it is lost... we don't always use it wisely... but it is essential. Keep up the good work!

Thank you so much for your kind review! I know, the book really cought my attention when I first read it.

[jacob erin-cilberto]

and to imagine all the books that have been burned, thought of as evil...the banned books which for the most part really are the books that need to be read most.
who's the judge of what to read and what not...each individual has the right and read to decide that.

[Lizardo]

It's true, only we have the decision to read what we want.
Thank you for your review jacob!

"Different but yet the same because we're different."

[Lizardo]

We're all different, and thats why we're all the same.

I enjoy reading your writing... it's very unique it's own way...
Awesome job! I think this is a great poem, but like I said before slow down and read over before you publish it... there was a few typos nothing that can't be fixed, and a few grammar errors.

But other then that It was amazing... I loved the perspective you put into it.
Keep up the great work Lizardo!
