Change

The pen is mightier than the sword”, they say,

And that may very well be true.

The written word can be more hurtful

Than any visible wound to you.

But no army fights by the sword these days,

And the keyboard replaces the pen.

Tweeks and Twitters can break a heart,

Cyber bullies cause death of a friend.

So it’s sad but true in this modern age

The pen and sword form a dying breed.

They’re being slaughtered by the computer,

Let writers and fighters take heed!

Keep writing! Keep fighting!

Keep that pen in the hand!

Make computer just a useful tool.

THE PEN IS STILL IN COMMAND!
