Book Removal Training
The orange flames waved at the crowd as paper and print dissolved inside them. Burning words were torn from their sentences.
-The Book Thief, p. 112
And now burning words must be torn from free people
For if people read they might think about things:
Why does the Party’s Jesus hate everyone
And why are weapons superior to ideas
Can a hangperson’s noose teach us to love
Burning crosses comfort a frightened child
Do the cult’s censors fly our flag upside down
While stealing books from our children’s hands
A state that trains people to purge library books
Is a slave state
