The Pen

They made fun of me. Especially those that were chosen by axes, swords, and mighty hammers. But they undersestimate it. Simple minded fools, who think everything must be solved with a fight. Hadn't they ever heard, "The pen is mightier than the sword."

Words can spark rebellions, start wars. They can end wars.

Notes that you write on paper and send to others will probably move them, especially if you search a dictionary for precisely the right words. After all, such messages are unusual now. In a world full of constant electronic communication, ink on the page will stand out in people's minds and affecting their emotions, their thoughts, their actions.

They can make fun of me all they want. But in the end, the pen chose me. And again, as I've said, the pen, tis mightier than any sword.
