Don’t Judge a Cover By its Book

I tried to choose a book today,
Forgotten, on the shelf.
Do insides always match outsides?
I asked the book itself.

Wrapped up in paper, plain and brown
Concealed, its secret skin.
Do outsides always match insides?
Please tell me, what’s within?

I’ll learn the answers on my own.
That voiceless book remains unknown.
