Dear 2020
March 3, 2021
Take away the sword, States can be saved without it
You cannot take the swords power without the will of the pen
For the pen conducts symphonies and writes the fates of many
It sends man to the moon and sends men into battle
The pen holds the voices of musicians, writers, politicians alike
For, to the pen they are all the same hand.
The pen is the story teller. For history is written by the victors
But without the pen they cannot be alive in minds
For the pen is mightier than the sword
Truths and lies alike
For those who pass
And for those who carry our future on their backs
Their names spoken
For those who mourned
The morning rose
For the pen is mightier than the sword
For the souls who spoke out against the tyranny
For evils vanquished by ex- enemies
For crimes yet to be punished
For the fires of passion must burn brighter
For the mind is our guiding light
May we face future foes
With hand in hand, heart in heart
For the pen is mightier than the sword.
