The Pen

Slim and powerful a weapon to behold

From ancient day's it has put it's

Mark on paper of various kind,

It's message of love

Or warnings of things to come

Books are filled with the

History of years gone by

Young men sit and study it's pages

To learn of things long past

Their lives shackled to

The future it may prescribe

King's and Nobles are there within

Their deeds laid bare with truth so rear

Politicians seek to destroy

Celebrities seek its written pages

Their glory as fleeting

As the driven snow.
