Mouse Song.

This little poem came into my head out of nowhere and I kind of liked it.

Text below:

Mouse Song I am small.

The world is big,

my eyes and mind can't hold it all,

for I am small. I want to live,

and feel the leaves and taste their sun-dew sweet,

to feel the body of someone beside me,

the soft warm body of someone besides me,

to also want and to need me.

I am small.

My life is brief,

and may not last 'til end of year;

I'll leave trace scent and tracks in dust that lead

to my torn-up corpse in a forgotten corner.

I am small

but today the sun was kind to me,

the soft straw and the sun-warm berry was kind to me,

and may be kind again tomorrow.

I am small.

Please be kind to me,

or pay no heed to me; I have no mind to be

bigger than what was meant for me,

only the dust moves for me in this world

and I am gone before it falls.

The sign of high quality is the fact the book was banned by the government. Trash literature NEVER EVER had any troubles with the law.

FARENHEIT 451 IS ON THE BANNED BOOKS LIST??? IT’S LITERALLY ABOUT THE SOCIETAL DANGERS OF BANNING/OUTLAWING/BURNING BOOKS ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME

[dancing-coyote]

That’s the reason it’s on the bloody list.

BECAUSE IT’S ABOUT HOW BANNING AND BURNING BOOKS IS WRONG.

"Where after all do universal human rights begin? In small places, close to home – so close and so small that they cannot be seen on any maps of the world. Yet they are the world of the individual person; the neighbourhood he lives in; the school or college he attends; the factory, farm or office where he works. Such are the places where every man, woman and child seeks equal justice, equal opportunity, equal dignity without discrimination. Unless these rights have meaning there, they have little meaning anywhere. Without concerned citizen action to uphold them close to home, we shall look in vain for progress in the larger world.”

— Eleanor Roosevelt to the United Nations, 27 March 1958
