The Might of the Pen – By Noor Rahim
“The Pen is mightier than the Sword” is the saying
Stifling of the Pen can cause a populace swing
But the effect may only be temporary and for political gaining
And when truth comes along; lead to populace awakening
The cumulative effect can be far reaching
“An Army marches on its’ stomach” is a Napoleonic saying
It’s true for an Army as it is for the people’s well being
Hence the stomach is the centre of homing
And no doubt an empty stomach will create problems that’s disturbing
The Pen is like the “Scale of Justice” that needs “Just” balancing
We do not need the Pen to be a “Sword of Damocles” dangling
Above the head of a population and threatening
The Pen must in all circumstances be just and well meaning
One must remember that a Pen filled with venomous inkling
Will only spread disharmony and evil doing
Irreparable at times and very disconcerting
So, let us fill the Pen with goodness and human feeling
Spread goodness in keeping with all Spiritual following
For when you answer to the Good Lords’ calling
You can always say – “I always did the correct & just thing”
