Mightier the Pen

There are some who think thoughts profound
but fail to pen it, 't'write it down
Word’s ‘a’spoken disspipate
but those a’written will test even fate
it's battles with wit , we ought to fight
brains busy, Pen’s in sight.
A skirmish, he’d rather, fool engage,
 than use his trusty, God-given brain.
True it is, what is said, that mightier not, 
is Sword, than Pen. 
To leave a legacy is Man’s lot, 
don’t fail, record it, complete the plot.
