Rewriting books as if they are heinous,

Yet the people calling for this are all about acceptance,

Unless it goes against what they want to see,

How is James And The Giant Peach,

Or a story about a poor kid achieving greatness,

Offensive?

How are these bad stories?

When they teach people about values and morality,

A reflection of the era they were written in,

We can't change history because we don't like it,

Books are the same,

Authors deserve to have their work read as intended

Not erased,

Just because there are people that don't like it,

Doesn't mean that a story should be changed

Common sense needs to come into play,

Don't burn books, don't rewrite them,

Just accept the fact that it isn't for you,

Instead of trying to virtue signal dead people,

Find a different book to read

And get some therapy too.
