You pen...

you pen
with a mighty blow
across the page
ink is smeared

you pen
with a glistening of truth
just to swear
on the poets blood

you pen
complete contempt for ignorance
smearing blood with wisdom
to capture innocence

you pen
with a shining sword
to cut the lies and falsehoods
announcing truth

you pen
not for beauty
only for lost love
to return as true

you pen
a quilted feather
gentle and genuine
to speak of life' hardships

you pen
with a lightning bolt
to burn the liars and politicians
it creates a tremendous thunder

you pen
a stormy sky
as it streaks the page
the ink and blood runs

you pen
the rain washing it away
cooling the burning word
bringing peace

you pen...

silence
