Books for a Better World
Background: Books for a Better World (BFBW) is the name of an actual company, and this poem was requested by its founder, Adrian Ung. I am delighted to write this for him and his wonderful endeavour!
Books for a better world
I believe in books for a better world -
Fantastical realms for boys and girls
Romance and adventure for teenagers;
Business, history for the older ones
Nobody left out in this wonderment.
I believe in giving books a second life -
Wisdom remains beneath old covers
Brave tales unread in all these pages
There is so much life in the written word
May the stories be read, their voices heard.
