A Word's Worth [+...]


Merci. La confusion reste sur la scène, mais il y a une boîte vide dans mon théâtre qui vous attendra.


A Word's Worth

Another combination of words

Or a new set of lyrics

Twisting adjectives to flatter, verbs to hurt

One more noun for what is

Or the next description of what isn’t

The flick of a tongue

The tap of a key

And the flowing, scratching, twirling, stabbing

Exploding lines

Of lead and ink and thoughts


Try, we do in vain, to find a better way

And though actions may speak louder than they

And though a picture may say a thousand

They are my companions, and -


Remember this: the pen is mightier than the sword

So long as one’s wit is sharpened.

  1. This is brilliant. Although, I must say, I have been stabbed by many the...dull witted-pen, if you will. It catches one off guard when it's a close ally. E tu, Brutus?
