A sonnet ( by Lalit – summarizing the book – To Kill a Mockingbird)

Mockingbirds cause no real harm, now do they?

All they do is sing so we can enjoy

They can’t cause harm like the blades on a sleigh

So we should not harm them, it is like DOI

Then why should we harm these innocent boys?

Our imagination clouds our judgment

Its not like they have made any real noise

Then why do we put them on documents?

Tom Robinson died from all of these lies

He died from an accusation of rape

Why have we put Boo Radley in disguise?

‘Cause when we really see him, we will gape

These men have been covered in a fake mask

To see the real truth should be our first task

-Lalit
