Words scatter so easily, Tongue to tongue, Mind to mind, Soul to soul. They are empty, Meaningless, Simply hollow desire and bravado, Compressed into spite. They stab deeper than knives, Hit harder than fists, Silly mindless torments, Cutting deeper than they should. A word is a word is a word, No matter what, Simply words, Nothing painful or cruel. And yet tears well, Confidence collapses, And fates are decided, Simple words. A noise, Grunts and squeaks, Made coherent through time, Means so much. The pen is mightier than the sword, Or at least its sharper, Cuts deeper, And keeps its victim alive. Sentences razor edged, Speeches with barbed points, Meant to rip at the heart, Crush the mind! Venom tipped tongues, Lashing at each other, Through a sea of hollow threats, Cause more pain than any knife. Gibes turn into threats, And threats turn into war, Simply words, A collection of letters. We are all armed, Sword like minds, Crash again and again, These blades never dull. I'm back, hey to everyone, sorry i havnt posted in a bit, holidays and exams. All done now though  Let the moonlight paint your face, let the stars be your cloak... |

very very good poem especially the part about the pen stronger than the sword indeed it keeps the victim alive and it is a very good way to help your opponent to become stronger (fair play), while if you are the victim you obtain a lot of help Generally through art your opponent is also your friend nice |
