Book Removal Training
The orange flames waved at the crowd as paper and print
dissolved inside them. Burning words were torn from their sentences.
-The Book Thief, p. 112
And now burning words must
be torn from free people
For if people read they
might think about things:
Why does the Party’s Jesus
hate everyone
And why are weapons
superior to ideas
Can a hangperson’s noose
teach us to love
Burning crosses comfort a
frightened child
Do the cult’s censors fly
our flag upside down
While stealing books from
our children’s hands
A state that trains people
to purge library books
Is a slave state
