"The Ink From This Pen" 

By: Khatoon Hazara 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The ink from this pen 

The third eye blind to the insight one distills in them 

Smart people are the core of immobility 

The reason as to why this is so perfect; the invention of poetry 

 

 

 

 

Pretty words inked in silver and gold 

Lined with papyrus to touch the story one's told 

Roll over with the tongue 

Once, twice 

Never to be heard from again 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Copy one's second nature; the pretty things one plays with 

The linings all so clear 

We know the difference between right and wrong 

And we choose with it the destiny of our own fate 

The one empathized in everyone's' heads 

 

 

 

 

 

With this ink from this pen 

That I hold in my hands 

I will with it the ability to write 

All my stories' pain, misfortune
