Literature is Humanity Talking to Itself
by Kathleen L. McDonald → (All Poetry by Kathleen L. McDonald)
   Rated "G" by the Author.

We learn from what we read explore ourselves

 Books stacked on tables and chairs

Shelves overflowing with adventure
Romance, mystery, travel, 
So many other avenues open to us
.
We are all kept informed of what is
Happening in our world .
How it affects us and others
Important columns of writing
By observant man and woman
.
Potent and  deep writes 
Some that make us smile
Others bringing tears to our eyes
And some bring utter joy and love
.
Literature is humanity talking to itself
Opening doors that we choose to either enter
Or pass on by without another thought
,
But the fact that it is out there is what is important
For knowledge makes us better in the end
Uncaring and not knowing must end
We all must listen to literature as it 
Talks to us

I'm smiling. My home is as said. Books, books everywhere, floor, cupboards and chairs. They do enrich the soul and edify ones spirit and open a door of which we may never return the same being.

Lit is us trying to know ourselves. Brilliance xxx

...a lasting literary merit of your poem, Kathy
is here to stay...unchanged...thoughts you've
voiced and expressed today...are...speaking
to generations...beyond your work's own time...
beyond the present time...

Literature offers to me the thrill of....clear mind
wrestling with the real life's delights of being
human...there has never been a time when
reading was not my greatest joy...
Thank you for sharing your thoughts.

A wonderful lesson in your poem. There's a lot to learn and a lot of knowledge in literature. The hard part is separating the truth from fiction.

Beautiful thoughts, Kathleen.
Literature is also our past reminding us to keep the torch burning
for the next generation and the next. Who knows the consequences when a single thought, an inquisitive mind, and a propitious moment all come together?

Well said. Many of us do not read enough and we lose a perspective on life worth having for our benefit. Great poetry.
