Devour


What defines who you are?
Who you are and what you could be?
It is books that teach you,
To be a better human being.

The pleasure of reading a book,
Can only be compared to the greatest of things.
The story, its drama, its excellence,
And all that excitement that it brings.

Every book depicts a new life,
A new life, a new adventure.
Exotic worlds and faraway lands,
Their unique and exquisite culture.

A book is a medium to travel time,
Some life in every word.
New concepts and ideas,
Of stories you’ve simply never heard.

It talks of wealthy, successful men,
Their power, their choices, their vision.
And all the events that paved their way,
Their mindset and their decisions.

Books continue to mesmerize me,
Evolved me in many different ways.
For many hours I have devour,
Left me engrossed for days and days.
