Old Libraries


Seek out old libraries before they lock the door,
Not merely books, gateways beyond what is told,
for history is being rewritten anew.
To find the truth, seek out the old,
In the new, fragments of truth lie askew.

In abandoned narratives, humanity exists,
a world of knowledge, a varied account awaits.
Seek out old libraries before doors close tight.
Imagination’s playground, dreams-life imitates,
Where different histories come to light.

Let not the age of account deceive,
nor from adversity shy,
stories lost in buried books untold,
wisdom and enchantment within the old lie.
Each chapter beckons, a saga to behold.

Today, knowledge is a forbidden venture.
There’s a battle waged on history’s stage,
Amidst the chaos and the strife,
Amidst the noise of an ever-changing age.
erasing history will not suffice!
