The pen is mightier than the sword!

(The title sucks...i know...) it's about words...the so called double edged sword...versus the real sword!

The pen is mightier than the sword

and so I've been told....

 

A sword just gives you bruises and wounds,

or even a bloody death...

It just attacks you on the body

and all it gets is flesh!!!

 

But words can stab you in the heart,

striking the cores of your soul...

just tear your bare existence apart

and decapitate you on the whole !!!

 

The pen is mightier than the sword

and so I've been told....

 

It's easier to die to a sword

than to those merciless words...

I'd be happier to loose my body

than to live with a bruised soul !!!

 

The pen is mightier than the sword

and so I've been told....

 

Author's Note

just some thoughts I tried to pen down....and please help me with the title.... (-.-)

Hmm...This was nice let me tell you that :)
I liked the concept..Though, I've read a lot of poems with this plot but this one was very much different.
It depicts about how both the things can rupture your heart and wound your soul.
There is nothing wrong with the title too..And I think so, that changing it won't be a good idea.
Since, there is a repetition of the lines in the poem-
"The pen is mightier than the sword
and so I've been told...." Thus, changing the title to something else won't look nice :)
Overall great work :)

Such truthful words. I can really empathize with this. Some words are so profoundly threatening that one can never forget them - they can bruise so severely - even more so than a physical blow. Well done.

Isn't this the truth here.
Words can hurt.
I like this alot, very well written

It is true words can really hurt more than others know...the title is fine..but if you want it shorter you could always just use your other line of words "so I've been told" just a thought
Great Job

It says so much about the power of words and its affects upon people. It flows nicely and works well. Impressive!

I love the poem. The title is a bit of a mouthful but it fits.
A few suggestions could be...............

Ink beats metal
War with words

They sound awful but maybe they will help with the thinking process.
