Impaled Pen Or Sword

I often hear a pen is mightier than a sword, but is it? I often hear a pen can write hurting words, but did it? I often hear a sword is big, heavy and sharp, but was it? I often hear one was impaled, but was it by the pen or the sword? 7/27/2019

very thought provoking...the power of words can cut deeper then the sword because they can cut the very core of the soul....nice poem :) hugs

So true. Thank You, for your note. I know the story of the pen and sword. I just wrote a Free E-Book that takes a very different look at the pen and sword. Maybe the pen has been getting a bad rap. With a little luck, I will have it out this week.

The pen may have decreed it on paper...judge knows...but in the end the sword impaled it...the pen may be a guilty party to the written laws... leaning towards the pen...
