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 UNSHEATH YOUR SWORD Poetry Contest Sponsored by John Lawless 9/13/18
