Labour To the Mind
Pen to Paper is Labour to the Mind
Ink scrambled across pages in a form of letters results in knowledge acquisition
Like a dome filled with bodies the mind undergoes infestation
To think a tick to my scribbles can get me a certificate of qualification
My heart spoke, my mind interpreted
I put pen to paper and the whole page was filled with ink
My heart said “She’s beautiful,” My mind said “Beauty defines her”
My heart said “I miss her,” My mind said “I am going breathless without her”
Pen to Paper is Labour to the Mind
What can’t be verbalised, could be voiced in a form of letters
That’s when the mind deciphers what the heart utters
Letters do kill but they have the ability to empower life
Voice has power to crack any item made of emotions
There’s volume in the voice and power in utterance
When Emotion collides with feeling
The heart intervenes in utterance and the mind deciphers
Even with volume in the voice with power in utterance
Pen to paper overpowers volume and the power in utterance
Hence “The Pen is mightier than the sword”
Pen to Paper is Labour to the Mind
