Sword

A sword
is a pencil that
one uses to write noble or bloody stories.
As one side can end the books
of millions and put memories of wars
on shelves. Or, the other side
can be used to empower, lead,
protect what matters, and inspire others
to be the authors of golden heroic legends.

Actually, it is the other way around where a sword is being used as a pencil. It’s a metaphor so when there are two sides of the actual blade, one side of the real sword can be used to create evil history or the other side to create good history.
