The Almighty Pen Poem by louis rams

the pen is mightier than the sword
and stronger than the mightiest men.
with the pen petitions can be signed
it can be accepted, or it can be declined.

the people on death row with no where to go.
they know that the pen can set them free
or put them to death instantly.

you can write your name
or get the autograph of someone of fame.
there are so many things that the pen can do
it all depends on you.

the declaration was written with a pen
the signatures of all those famous men.

for centuries the pen has been used and abused.
it's been used for good and for bad
for happy times, and for sad.
it's been used for letters of love
hate, bitterness, and faith.

the pen and all its glory
always telling the perfect story.

for such a little thing that fits in your hand
it is known through out all lands.
all my poetry is written with a pen
and to me he is the perfect friend.
