Pen & Sword Poem by Qumber Rizvi

Pen & Sword

Rating: 0.5


"The pen is mightier than the sword."
But is rather used by the coward
To turn the truth, blue, into red false.
And to build up some very hideous walls
Also, for happily signing an ugly deed
That would serve not one friendly need.

There happened to be a case, quite same,
With a little bad boy, Nath was his name.
He was written as a crooked young guy
"He killed a national hero. Why why why? "
Nath tried to tell 'em not to overlook
Some facts they perhaps did, in a black book.

The book was banned. No one believed a word.
But, you see, the pen is mightier than the sword!
