Psst, I know a secret:
the sword and the gun,
the bomb and the rocket
aren’t the best weapons.
All they create are the dead
and the not yet.
Only the pen has the power
to create monsters and martyrs.
To sell any killing wholesale.
So, yes, the pen is mightier
than the sword.
I choose to believe
The pen has uses beyond weapon.
At the start of any greater understanding
was the word and the story and so the pen.
I use it to tell stories
That are more shield than weapon
and mostly write calls to open arms.
