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
