There was a crowd of people
Standing at the bus stop
All of them looking at their cellphones
There was another man
Just sitting on a bench
He was reading a book
Suddenly a policeman arrived
He drew his gun
Pointed it at the man and shouted
“Put that down,
Whatever it is your holding
And walk slowly towards me
With your hands in the air!”
Is this what life will be
Will be in time
When reading books
Reading books is a crime!
