This pen I hold with my fingers
is potent and impotent:
it cannot change the world
but it can dream a world,
offer the comfort of words,
turn a mind to another way,
and give joy in contemplation.

This pen I grasp in not a weapon
but it can fight a cause and find
a truth hidden that those who
seek will find among the chaos
and uncertainty of modern living,
and in the quiet revelation of words
perhaps there is revealed a little hope.
