The Stroke

An idea was imprisoned in such a bind It bounced about within the precincts of the mind What did it mean I heard you say I didn’t know about it right away For it was not alone in there And had to survive a longish stare But what was missing in its story Was the truth in all its glory What will be written for the ages In history as you turn the pages Will it be corrected with a stroke of the pen Or will the stroke win in end. © Paul Warren Poetry
