Live and Let Write

To die by the sword Or die by the pen In my literary world We would never lose men They would prosper and grow In my world of write Never to war Never to fight They would be dying for love Injured by hearts If they can't heal Its time to restart So pick up your pens Lay down your arms En capture your thoughts And you will come to no harm http://www.thehighlanderspoems.com/life2.php
