On sand and stone

with stick and bone

on leaf, wood and paper

with a pointer, ink and feather

of late on electronic media and internet

man creates his books of his interest

laden with poetic, artistic  literal talent

also on scientific and technological patent.

Imprinting the literature geography and history

man enriches his knowledge and wisdom for glory.

Painted on it are also man’s laughter and lament

his wails and woes for future to analyze and comment.

A book fathfully carries man’s emotion to commotion

his A to z expression for present to future communication.

Everything put forth in it transcends over time the scythe

to the distant future the facts deliberated there may be taken as myth.
