They say the pen is mightier than the sword. This may be true, but I don’t generally use my pen for battle. Rather I use the power of my pen to (hopefully) help others gain some valuable life lessons without having to learn them the hard way as I have.

Painful moments, trying times

Paychecks that amount to dimes

Why bother to submit my rhymes?

Because they heal my brother

Striving just to be a vessel

Mixing a balm, my pen a pestle

A warm safe place in which to nestle

Should we not comfort each other?

And not for monetary gain

To some this idea seems insane

Before the world my life I’ve lain

In black and white, these pages

Confirm the power of the pen

Can help us to begin again

To see where someone else has been

Share wisdom of the ages

So still I will hasten to write

From my pen release the might

That flows from its tip and into sight

And before all bares my soul

That you may know what I have known

Glean the experiences I’ve sown

My joys and sorrows become your own

Without having paid my toll

PartizAnka – the pen indeed has power that we don’t recognize.

Love Doc – thanks as always for your support!

Pen has power, but they say picture has even more, as it speaks more than thousand words…
Good share!

Money get’s things dirty. When we clean ourselves up from it, we are free to love divinely!

This reads like a rap. Great meter and rhyme scheme.

Well written my friend, yet I’m afraid some people still need to feel their way through the ups and downs of life, regardless of the advice we give them.
