The Power Behind the Pen

A pen
can make you friends,
or it can make
a friendship end.

But I use my pen, 
to meet my ends 
and if God willing,
make some friends.

There will be times,

 when your pen will offend 
and also leave happy grins. 

Nevertheless, 
you still need to be cautious 
on what you write with your pen, 
cause this tends to attract 
your selfish greedy friends. 

You know the ones, 
ever time they see food,
their mouths open
and their elbows bend.
