Librorum Prohibitorum
Heretics burned at the stake
The purity of the Inquisition
the dominance of religion and politics over
The written word a first amendment imperative
“All animals are equal but some animals
are more equal than others.”
Censorship of the free thinkers of
Sexual content, political ideologies, historical accuracy,
“Who controls the past controls the future."
morality, racism, violence, LGBTQIA,
“War is Peace..
Religious viewpoints, age appropriateness, sexual content
“A book is a loaded gun.”
If a spider can talk, a young boy perform magic,
Should one question gender identity
speak of dystopian futures which are establishing
Here and now.
If they ban a book, can they ban a judge?
They control ideas, the books,
They burn, delete and turn to Fox News
For the latest on cultural wars,
the evils of characters of colour
The overt unfairness of DEI hires, the magical,
the mystical and the cultish must be purged
from the schools and be replaced
with the Lord’s Prayer and the Ten Commandments
On classroom walls.
Ban the Department of education with
Thoughts and Prayers fuelled by bigotry
to replace language and literary themes
From:
Uncle Tom’s Cabin
All Boys Aren’t Blue
The Satanic Verses
Of Mice and Men
Lord of the Flies
Brave New World
Animal Farm
Mein Kampf
Grapes of Wrath
Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone
Slaughter House Five
The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn
Charlotte’s Web
Burn the books for social order
trust in AI to write our future
with white male youths as central characters,
rewrite our history to control
our future
safe for new democracy
with Freedom of Speech for all.
