Banned Book Club- Fantasy Library
Fantasy Library
Xanadu was embraced with philodendron,
Palace-like architecture, the plant went on,

Light luminated thru high ceilings of grandeur
As I entered the bookstore’s library atrium,
A quick lesson was gifted me on consortium

Banned Book Club VIII -Psychedelia studies
To be truly, fully present
Of consciousness and
answering why we are here,
These studies are a promising field of research
Yet by powerful backlash
research has halted
For severe depression and PTSD
Universities use micro-doses of psylocibin
Derived from mushrooms
It lowers stress and doesn’t
cause hallucinations
Follow up studies show dramatic improvement
of conditions not previously responsive
to conventional medications and therapies
This chemical is still widely

Banned Book Club VII- 1984
Midtone grey surrounds what’s left of a man’s soul
Scenes of biblical abominations troll
Inky are the hellish horizons appalled
An okay is needed for anything at all
Manipulating truth determines your life
Erasing individuality is part of your strife
Robotic neurotic, emotionless choice, nary a voice
Force proles controlling every movement
A new history engraves the stone 'tis

The Ire excessive was the coming of age
Juvenile mistakes made in adult years
Denied the ability to pick up social skills
Sexual assault and sexual awaking
considered pornographic
Q**r’s often live

When Minds Are Closed and Books Are Banned
A mind is just a mind until it’s opened…
’Til then it remains just like a book upon the shelf…
But once opened we find love
and hope
we can feel all emotions
we begin to think
and reason for ourself.
There is one truth about a mind that I can offer,
one certainty…
one fact to be proposed…
a mind has no ability for

My grandpa was a drinking man
he never lost a dealer’s hand
we hired a caregiver
to tend his bad liver
from bottle and table he’s banned
He tried to sneak drink and a game
and was feeling the stare of fame
drew a royal flush
his liver turned to mush
his game will never be the same
