Fantasy Library

Xanadu was embraced with philodendron,
Palace-like architecture, the plant went on,
and on, weaved its way around the corridor
Light luminated thru high ceilings of grandeur     
As I entered the bookstore’s library atrium,
A quick lesson was gifted me on consortium

Premium MemberBanned 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

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

Conservatives’ banning’s apropos of nothing
At twelve when he delt with this
shouldn't have to jump through hoops
should’ve been able to explore when a teen
But because of many conservative groups
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

The politics of fear are rising from minds bent

Riddles, my wife loved games of amusement
I never found out the clue of why

Under mysterious circumstances

Identity, masculinity

Her childhood stories bring tears to the eye
They’re of her overcoming difficulties
In an abusive family life
The subjects in racist societies
Molestation and racism are two reasons why
Traumatization had caused her to be  MUTE
They ban books for the harsh reality they deny

Banned books begins again,
  Always has a place,
  To embarrass us as a race!
  For intelligence and analytical thinking,
  Banned books sure are stinking!

  On phones they play all day.

Premium MemberWhen 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
