The Sword

The Sword

A Poem by Savannah Bly
"

What is the sword?

"

The Sword


We give and take

Hoping to always be giving

But ending up

Always taking

We are bare, naked

Easy to pierce the skin

Of the hearts we love

We can’t stop

We are selfish

Who are we?

A puzzle,

A government,

An economy,

A sword
