Touche
It is oft said
That the pen
Or quill
Is mightier
Than the sword
This obviously
Doesn't work
On a physical level
Unless your pen
Is actually
Like a secret weapon
That fires bullets
Or poison darts
Or some such thing
On another level
If you have written
In a language
That the sword bearer
Doesn't understand
Your pen may as well
Have no ink!
Funny that the word sword
is an anagram of
Words
And if sticks, and stones
Can break your bones
And words can never hurt you
Then a sword
Serves a better use
Than mere words
And becomes a far superior weapon
Unless of course
You have a crossbow
Guns, tanks
Nuclear warheads
Insanity!
