The Book
Bitter I am not, I love how you left
Better I am, you placed the book back on the shelf
Blowed off the dust, hell you even read a few chapters
Skipped the preface it was the climax you was after
The Author and orator was one in the same
Focused on the title when it only told the name
How much was learned from reading the first page
Difficult and complex all an introduction to the rage
An afterword is all that i seek now years afterwards
Am I the best you ever read or the best you could afford
Never mind the answer, hope there was a lesson to be learned
There are a few more chapters and plenty of pages to turn
Omniscient, yet the story was still in first person
At a point of closure before the conflict could worsen
It was all a mystery, a puzzle just to figure out
Uncertainity and anxiety was only to create doubt
Captured your imagination and inspired you to read
Elevated the level of understanding from planting the seed
Bitter i am not, i love how you left
I am in my rightful place
Waiting on the next reader, here perched on the shelf...
