Suicide of Books
For long bookcase-bound,
Some books committed suicide.
‘Few readers were found’,
The suicide note had decried,
Sobered, the rest of books cried.
The shock of the news
Caused many in library
Feel a stiffened noose,
Some of them on poetry
Thought of mass hara-kiri!

Poet’s note: More and more books are being printed, less and less, read; too many digital bytes chasing too few readers.
