Book
Book
Book, a limitless source of knowledge
A companion to its lover
Through it we become intelligent
From it we acquire ageless wisdom
It can turn a know-nothing into a genius
It's turned a dullard into a great surgeon
Book make us explore our world
At the comfort of our home
It boosts self-awareness
It emancipates
It gives power to an individual
And greatness to a nation
Book accelerates development
And fast-track civilisation
It unravels mysteries
And debunks superstitions
Through it we become aware
Of our own history
Book enculturates
Book motivates
It makes us see farther
Than we can ever imagine
From it we gain years of experience
Within a short time frame
Book opens our eyes
To what others cannot see
It accompanies us in the journey
To the land of self-discovery
Book is an antidote for ignorance
And a cure for barbarism
