Every Book Has a Soul

Do corporations 
have human rights? “Certainly,” 
ruled the Supreme Court. 

But those entities 
have a black hole at their core 
with no heart, no soul. 

True creations hold 
a piece of their creator’s 
essence: heart, mind, soul. 

Our published words are 
humanity incarnate 
in glorified form. 

And so, books have souls. 
Their sacred right: to be read 
— profane or holy. 

Some books resonate 
but don’t align with one’s views. 
That’s their gift to you. 

Those who serve the good 
have grace to discern the truth: 
No Book Should Be Banned.
