The Nazi’s before World War II fought ideas in books they disfavored
By massive book bonfires to the growing flames they could savor
Somehow guided by this mistaken thought
Burn the book and the ideas contained therein live not
Ideas are not erased by fire and continue to live on
More followers and defenders of the ideas the fires will spawn
Today the left is driven to ban ideas that to their way of thinking oppose
But book burning sends carbon and ash into the air so they need a better way of
banning to impose
Rather than allow the offending book to be published then try to its
dissemination suppress
Far better to never let it see the light of day and by whatever means keep it from
the printing press
Random House going to publish Beyond
Order has its employees demanding it publish it not
His ideas on PC, gender identity , and identity politics are not worthy of
human thought
A mind censored is a mind that rots and goes to waste
Trying to ban publication should leave in our mouths a terrible and unwelcome
taste
Random House employees are more like molting lobsters with shell less skin
In facing life’s adversities they will always lose and rarely if ever win
