Reading/Knowledge Is Power
Page after page
My nose in a book
I read intently
As the words
Form pictures
In my mind
What power.
With one look.
Imagination runs wild,
There is nothing
Like the thrill,
The ride,
thoughts race
Like a roller coaster
Going through
its paces
Giving you chills.
It’s a rainbow
Of translations,
If you will.
Get on it,
And feel the inclination
To soar
Until
You’ve had enough.
But is it ever?
Never
You see,
Once you start
It’s too tough
To get off
That ride
That makes
You smart
To begin with.
You are filled
With exhilaration
And with pride.
Reading takes you
to the top,
To the power
of knowledge!
Knowledge is power,
A roller coaster
That never stops.
