A poem on eradicating illiteracy in the style of the Marxist Poet Vladimir Mayakovsky.
~
Erase the Darkness
Eradicate illiteracy!
Our words are bullets, Not for violence but for truth. In the factories, fields, and streets, Ignorance is our enemy, Our minds the sharpest tools.
Who are we, comrades? The children of sweat and toil, Born in the shadows of towering machines, Yet we will not bow to the chains of silence.
Rip apart the darkness of the night! Tear ignorance to shreds! Books are our bombs, Each page a spark, Each word a blow against the abyss.
