The pencil.
Such a simple thing.
Useful and a Convinence we abuse.
Stronger than any man
More feirce than any beast in the world

They say sticks and stones may break my bones,
But words shall never harm me.
What if those words
Were written down?
Would that still be the case?

Would you just sit by as those pencils
Scribbled lies
Secrets
For others enjoyment?

Would you destroy someones life by passing a  Written note?

Would you start a war by signing a document?

Put thousands in poverty because you wrote
A bill?

And to think.

All this?

Comes from


The
Pencil.
