POEM: Banned Books

It’s the most divided we have ever been.
Book banning is just one of the matters that we fight over.
But wait a second.
It’s not merely book banning.
Not all books from all bookstores and libraries are generally banned.
There is a very distinct nuance here,
And we must not ignore it.
No one is banning you from reading Shakespeare.
You can go to any bookstore and any library and read the beloved bard,
Just like you always could.
So let’s be reasonable here.
Some books are more niche than others,
And they respectfully belong to their own club.
But other than that,
Othello still rocks and he always will.
