IN THIS LIBRARY


In this library,
All passages leads
To depth of discoveries.
Each of the passages has
Its potency for much growths
And reductions-
According your quest.

In this library,
Whether ancient or modern,
Major purpose is the search
For knowledge.
Some come for ancient Greek mythology,
Archeological while some scientific research.
In this library,
Untold mysteries are yet to be discovered,
Many seekers come with much inquisitions;
Some end up become scholars
While others become academic'Radicals.'
In this very library,
Lie our Salvation-
Buried, hidden and starched
Away in a Book so close...
Yet we languish in pain,
Make sorrow our relations,
Dine with impoverishment,
Not knowing that our liberation
Is before us.
In this library,
Have we all the answers
To stop war and violence,
Right there in homes,
Our personal libraries are trodden,
Kept like refuse bin
While we refuse to search out
For remedies to end the war and violence.
In this library,
Have we the rudiments
To live a glorious life
As it was in the garden of Eden.
But we neglect the Book of the Law
That gives life eternal
And choose to speak guile of it.
In this library,
Are found books of all kinds
That emanated from the Book of the Law,
They mend and destroys,
But the Book of the Law
Speak life eternal
With every good that life gives.
Only the wise and pure in heart
Can search out the glory in it.
