Mightier than the sword

Might may take you to the throne
Never loved and long deplored,
But words can bring you power too
The pen is mightier than the sword.

Buy with what you have in hand
Still only what you can afford,
The right words buy you so much more
The pen is mightier than the sword.

Your life could educate your flock
Your parable will not be stored,
What you write will outlive you
The pen is mightier than the sword.

Each day you fight to fill your plate
You toil for that scant reward,
What you pen could change it all
The pen is mightier than the sword.
