Ink never lies
I choose the pen rather than the sword hand written written in ink from
kings wizards and loards
burned by the dragon that flys with stealth in my sleep
stealing the words that hide in my mind so deep
the fire of words burns through my verbaly scorched brain
shutting my mouth is my best friend never to speak or utter a single word again
if I should ever be so fortunate to feel mr wisdoms touch
iwill know enough to keep my open mouth shut
no one can be your judge or jury just the same
and surely dead silence has never slanderd ones good name
