Unsheath Your Sword

En Garde, unsheath your sword
Your mighty pen and eloquent words
Cut down the shackles of ignorance
And fan the flames of defiance
Sharpen your blade as you write
Bring darkness into the light
Cut away fear and hesitation
Arrange your words and presentation
Unsheath your sword and stab away
And let your words have their say

If everyone swapped pen for sword wouldn't it be a better world we live in.
