Honestly

We thought of home, of the books we would have to burn with all their lies.

Would you put a stop to a lie?
Would you ban or burn any book
That you knew was a brick of lies?
Would you ask how you knew,

Who were you to be so certain?
You can think of books full of lies
For which many people have died—

To spoken lies one answers back.
Or maybe you burn the liar.
Is it easier to attack

Lies spoken right in front of you
Or lies printed in some format?
Thing is, the books most worth burning
Are most loved as worth preserving.
