Guns and Verses
Hah! You say
Poets are courageous,
and gunners are
pugnacious?
I ask you
who is more grossly
outrageous?
One, who
marches forward
with a song in his heart
A heart in his hands
with sweat in his blood
and blood in his dreams
his dreams for a fight
and a fight for a cause.
Or the one, who is
far away from the reality
near his patron's proximity
who has gun in his mind
his mind scheming to kill
to kill for his fill,
all but, for to revel,
in his entity's
lasting eternity?

Thanks You Silence,
I was attempting to drive home this point, that how the mighty Pen has sold its soul today.

| It is not unknown that the pen is mightier than the sword. Therefore i feel this poem describes the other nature of the "pen" in a very emotional way. One can debate the whole lifetime on the application of its mightiness if it be politics or literature or philosophies. But the fact is, you have brought the truth out in an impressive way. |

yess1 STANDING STRONG!
last two days am pondering wht is it tht gone amiss!
Initially i thot poet was talking abt mindless gunttoters driven by pen wielding monsters!
Later i feel our poet is talking abt disciplined ,trained but conditioned to be mindless armed forces and again driven by equalyy monstruous political philosophies!
