THIS POEM IS SIMPLY MY REACTION TO OUR GUT INSTINCT OVER THE RECENT TERROR ATTACKS.
"Testing the Might of a Pen"
and then there are times
like these
that a pen
holds no power
over the sword
the black ink
can not erase the red
thousands dead
crimson shed
words
unread
the pen
holds nothing
over an angry-blind sword.

I disagree I think it is perfect, needs the adjectives, says it all.

flows well until the last line, maybe just the sword minus the adjectives? The rest is so succinct that the last line seems to disturb the rhythm. Or maybe that was on purpose.
