My pen is my sword <br />Welding it, I do like the rapier <br />Cutting and thrusting a point of view <br />Back held sometimes as a defence <br />Paper is the shield <br />Stronger than all metal armour <br />My words the legacy I leave <br />The sword may blunt and break <br />My shield could burn to ash <br />Only my words live on in perpetuity<br /><br />Gordon D Wilkinson<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/words-252/
