it was the future today<\/p>\n
books were scary<\/p>\n
gave too many<\/p>\n
too many ideas<\/p>\n
so firemen set fires<\/p>\n
burned books to protect<\/p>\n
those who needed to be protected<\/p>\n
and called it all of society<\/p>\n
but our modest band of heroes<\/p>\n
were not buying that lie<\/p>\n
they hid in cold snowy woods<\/p>\n
they held in their minds<\/p>\n
libraries<\/p>\n
they had memorized books in their heads<\/p>\n
and spoke the words out loud<\/p>\n
to practice remembering<\/p>\n
and the dying taught the young<\/p>\n
a freezing boy was Great Expectations<\/p>\n
and God help us all in the future<\/p>\n
if he and Pip should<\/p>\n
forget the words<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
