Books

What an attraction 
I have to imagine
World beyond worlds
Which causes my mind to be swirled
Broken dreams inside
Books help move it aside
They help me escape
My terrible fate 
Which awaits for me after a long hard day
With Dues of which I should pay
But afterwards its time to play
Books upon books stacked on a shelf 
Ready to accompany my lone old self.

The message is very good. I wish that everyone would resort to books every time the going gets tough. In books you ease your mind while you get knowledge at the same time.
