The Book


from the ABC set Poems 1

Lets write a book!

It doesn’t have to make any sense;

just... write it!

Stories and stuff.

Stick some rules in it too,

then we’ll tell them it’s real!

It’ll keep people in check;

fill them with fear,

to make them behave themselves!

Then, over a couple of thousand years,

change it;

to suit ourselves;

our new world!

I mean, we don’t have to follow it;

just everyone else.

Then,

when they start to question it...

We can have a war or two about it!

Blow people up and stuff!

What do you think?
