Pens and Swords

IS THE PEN MIGHTIER THAN THE SWORD?

yes
Well here's why.
If you want something to believe something, say you're a ruler and you need to prove a point. Which would be more successful? 

That is a very very very hard question. You see the sword is mighty. Many things will fall to the blade of a sword. Multiple swords can take a nation. Conquer everything they come acrossed if used correctly, but the pen can do this also. Recall Abraham Lincoln's Gettysburg Address. The effects it had, the things it did, the way it took a broken nation and gave hope to those who looked to it. 

Now we have two mighty things. Pen and sword, sword and pen. Now say you're not a ruler. You are no one special. You're just an ordinary person with no power over anyone. Now pick up a sword and go out and try to do something with it. Homie it's a sword people will laugh at you! Then when you kill someone, you'll get shot. How's that sound? Awful. See swords gain might in number. Pens do too. But pens can be powerful. Even when there's just a few. See writing is art. Killing...well killing is not. And not even the sharpest blade penetrates like the sharpest thought. Words have more affects on people than swords. People who use pens earn more awards. Because pens are better. A weapon of death will never beat a weapon of knowledge. 
Knowledge is key. It's a gift for those who look. But death is unfair when it's in someone else's hands. Knowledge can break bands. Help a nation learn to stand. It can eliminate the need for swords. But also know this, the pen is the mightiest tool of war. Because what will in fact happen, is that the pen will become the sword.
