The written word

Some people can be evil

And some like to cause pain.

But what I’ll never understand is

What they have to gain.

It’s said the pen is mightier

Than the fearful sword.

It’s true the blade can cut you deep

But so can a cruel word.

The written word is to the point

And can be very strong.

It can be truth or a lie

And also right and wrong.

In this world we have a choice,

Some people like to fight.

Others like to use their heads,

And me, I like to write.
