Poems: About

Fahrenheit 451 


A man on the run

The man who started burning flames of ashes

And actually, takes a look


The man, Guy Montag

His game was burning books

Watching them burn was a pleasure 

Performing his duty was always the same


A fireman for ten years

Never questioning his peers

Letting the man have no fears 


Till one day

He met a girl named Clarisse

Opens up the man’s eyes to see

The true meaning of books and stories

Guiding the man to see light 


Montag is concerned 

The books he lit it was 

And decides to take a peek 

On each specific book


Mildred, a woman, his wife, does not care 

Hopeless was she, staring blankly into the sea 

Not caring about her husband 

But only her television and thinking she’s smart 

Beatty, a cold-hearted captain

Suspicious of Guy’s plan 

Telling the man about the past

To ensure the man to eliminate books in a flash
