Sword or Pen
What is mightier...the sword or pen?
If words fall on deaf ears, what then?
If the written word is always ignored.
Can you justify the use of the sword?
What is more effective, blood or ink?
What makes people sit up and think?
When to every word you get no reply.
Is the threat of the sword worth a try?
Can you win battles with pen in hand?
Or is it just the sword they understand.
If the written page gets you nowhere.
Should your sword cut through the air?
Two weapons of choice, mine would be.
A pen to hold...never the sword for me.
