Guy Montag is a fireman who
Instead of putting out fires
Ignites them
In a world
Where nature's ignored
And everybody is equalized
Riveted to television
They're on interactive stupor
Mechanical hounds are set to trace
Readers and thinkers' steps
Clarisse's humanistic touch
Leads Montag to reflection
His outlook on life is tested
"Why do I burn books"
Experiencing dissatisfying facts
The fireman starts to retreat
The old lady sets ablaze herself
He can't bear it this deep
Literature burning
Fahrenheit 451
Clean, quick, by fire
Restriction, burn
Every one made equal
A book is a loaded gun
Go breach man's minds
Salamanders... Burn!
Vehemently Beatty states his point
On why literature isn't important
Books are there just to contradict
And emphasize the authors' truths
Their words just ring of vanity
Through lines you find nothing
Readers assume superiority
And philosophy is fashion
The salamander arrived to erase
Montag's need to read
Through the same fire the chief endorsed
He gets burned up to a crisp
A new hound has been put on his trail
He escapes to resurrection
The book people now he meets
While the city is in flames
Literature burning
Fahrenheit 451
Clean, quick, by fire
Restriction, burn
Every one made equal
A book is a loaded gun
Go breach man's minds
Salamanders... Burn!
