Burning pages
Burning words
Burning thoughts
Burning letters, symbols and numbers
Becoming a deadly weapon in the war against freedom
Clearing the way for ignorance and arrogance
Burning the only hope of mankind
Destroying all ideas of wisdom, justice and liberty
Paying tribute to censorship
Instilling fear in all the free hearts of writers and readers
Crushing the spirit of those brave ones
Who put their thoughts and beliefs
Down on paper for all to read
Blinding all who dare stare into it
That bright light
That burns all
And saves none
