Blood Bound Book
How does it feel
To lift the cover
Simple yet honoured
In foreign lands?
How does it feel
To hear the voices
Of the forgotten
Crying from rough words?
How does it feel
to turn the crinkled pages,
Uncover secrets and revelations,
Knowing people will spill blood
To know the truth embedded
In your heart?
How does it feel
To hold
The most valuable book
In the world?
