The Pen Points To This Point and Period

The pen points down at this point and period Then it points to the Egyptians Who used the stars to pinpoint the pyramids They penned the Book of The Dead in their own language They did everything backwards because it means the Book of Life in the English translation They built hospitals for the dead So we build hospitals for the sick now The Chinese made paper, this is the tipping point, Because of them my pen is joined to their hip now These two twins the parchment and the Prophet They are the editors of God's Word Which points the way for the Gospels written by the Apostles At this point and period the topic points to the highlight The history of our Country is underlined The Declaration of Independence on it John Hancock penned the signature of a giant History has been recorded by pens to point men But history repeats itself and now its all pointless And at this point depending on which way North is pointed The polls shifted, now water runs uphill A stroke of good fortune, I've come to the point of poets They ink the finger of God And by God's finger we have the Ten Commandments And the paper the speaker prepares his speech His pen is the instrument that captivates his audience The pen breaks Out shoots the ballpoint With my mind I have pointed to many points and periods.....
