POEM: Reading Courageously

By Berniegourley @berniegourley

POEM: Reading Courageously
If you've never been incensed,
challenged, or nauseous -
your reading is too safe, puny,
and far, far too cautious.

Reading should be a courageous act
that threatens all you know.
It should shove your feet into shoes
far different from your own.

If you want your world unchanged,
T.V. is right for you.
Books will insist you be torn a-
part and rebuilt anew.
