The Ford

As the sticks and stones strike my bones from the tempest across the torrent ford,
I'm glad that we can find peace in knowing that the pen is mightier than the sword.


From Pen To Computer

“The pen is mightier than the sword”

Then what the hand holding the pen?
That holding the sword?

The truth is with hands
To prove now to hands 
Rising up towards God
Both hands 
Seeking justice 

Thanks,Computers for pens
Hands to handle!

My Great Madness

My artistic temperament 
between great madness and art
is a creative necessity
Of emotional highs and lows.

My pen is mightier than the sword
And so I release my great madness of my muse.



'The pen is mightier than the sword' was coined in 1839 by Edward Bulwer-Lyton for the play, Conspiracy.

“The pen is mightier than the sword.”
 that’s what someone once assured.
But that’s a fallacy it seems
when wars still haunt men’s hopes and dreams.    

Mutually Assured Destruction’s an insane solution
Come now - its positively Luciferian 
particularly in the hands of  psychopaths
Time to do the impossible maths

Man is wired for endless war
The bluprint written in - 1984.

Premium Member Cool Water

You are blameless to not swim,
Where water is ingenuously cool,
Too cool for fish to frolic,
Whoever heard of a Procrustean waterbed?
I am taking swimming lessons at the J.C.C.,
From Pasternak and Yevtushenko.
Cool water with cool air generates no breeze,
Calm as a dish.
The pen is mightier than the sword,
And even works as a good oar,
When there is no wind,
And sails luff.

Bad People Own Pens Too

While it is true the pen is mightier than the sword,
We must not forget that bad people own pens too.
You may have put away your sword but a war of words 
Is stiill being fought
So sharpen your wit and keep a good supply of pens
For when a counter argument is needed
To prevent just one side of the story being told
Lest some innocents get burned by the clever wording
From the pens of those up to no good.

Premium Member Writing Ninja

Not all ninjas are bad with the pen. I see some good writes from ninjas now and then. They say that the pen is mightier than the sword. Just like water out of a pitcher, that cliché is poured. Whether I am writing seriously, or for fun, I can do the job myself to get it done. Yes, I manage to get a writing job completed somehow. I have no need for the services of this outfit right now.

Dead Man Walking

If Pen is mightier than the sword
I am dead man walking
All of these letters,  bullets.
They rip through 
Skin and crush bone 
Words  sharp 
gnaw 
On 
Ears 
And eyes
Line after line
Cuts as paper a thousand times over
Every vowel and every consonant 
Transformed into verse
Hammers
Flesh into submission
 I will bleed 
With each allusion 
Would I have known
That in this was no healing balm
This poetry  is 
Idolatry 
And this is my suicide
