Lock up your libraries if you like ___ AKSHR

 

Lock up your libraries if you like

 

Lock up your libraries if you like, 

but there is no gate, no lock, no bolt that 

you can set upon the freedom of my mind.

Without paper and ink, 

without poring over dusty volumes, 

I will live.

Without books, without poems, without stories 

to take me beyond my own small life,

I will live.

Lock up your libraries if you like; 

but there is no gate, no lock, no bolt that you can set 

upon the freedom of my mind.
