the pen is stationary the pen looks innocent but is it?
pens travel pens reach far places even godless places
pens do travel signing documents treaties creating wars
ending inconvenient non-profit wars signing shiny new peace
pens can travel too far when signing ill advised documents
are these part of poison pen mysteries government denials?
'A moving hand
the stroke of a pen
a signature on a page.
Little letters representing
the power, of the name
the purpose felt power, of a name...'
'The flash of the president's pen
deals with the life of men.
Starting a war settling a score
all happens so far away... '
'Enemies face governments hate
poised for the stroke of the pen
poised for stroke of fleeting pen
the beginning fuses the end.
It's better to weep,
than stir the ashen heap.
Taking to the grave
beauty knowledge secrets
lost for all time.'
sometimes powerful people
need to think for more than a moment
for more than hours days about consequences
the consequences of their actions
This is really beautiful...I think I too got an inspiration from MB poems.. Beautifully penned the pen right on the paper clean.. sometimes powerful people need to think for more than a moment for more than hours days about consequences the consequences of their actions.... very true Sir.
