Favorite Quote:
"Numquam finitur, donec vita finiatur."
- K. D'Angelo Alexander


A pen; The intelligent sword

A bright man fights with his words

Chooses to lose the conflict, 

To win the war

 

Negotiating can open doors

Forget the violence: a problem that is not yours

Use your pen, pencil, or writing utensil;

It will work better than any military "tour"

 

Not always is peace the answer,

But violence never is

Lend a man a pen,

If he seems to have forgot his

 

The panacea, tool to end all wars,

Will not be found in an arsenal of the haters;

It will be found on a sheet of paper


The author's comments:

A poem about the effect a person's writings, or words can have on the world. How negotiating, and compromising can help to end violence. Fighting fire with water, instead of more fire.
