“(The power of the pen vs The power of the sword) *
The power of the sword kills the person
It doesn’t change the world
It leads to a valueless balance ,
Bloodshed, hatred and violence.
The sword may rule the world with fear,
The pen shows power and calls another ‘ My Dear.’
The pen shows your signature,
The sword shows your anger
evilness and makes you a greedy.
The pen shows that you’re capable of much more,
No way less than the other.
You can erase if you make a mistake.
it’s a big success in itself.”
The sword plays a cruel game
it can never be successful.
