Had been caught in a fight.
He had beat up a kid,
Who swung at him first.
So he wandered the streets,
Till too late in the night.
To get out of his system,
His violent thirst.
It started with words,
An attack with the tongue.
Next it was paper,
An attack with the pen.
Then it got physical,
A trait of the young.
So sadly this happens,
Even to great men.
So what is more deadly?
The steel or the ink?
And what does more damage?
The word or the blade?
However you look,
They both make you stink.
And whatever is used,
A man won’t be made.
So dare I suggest,
A sword wound will heal?
But a wound with the pen,
Will go to the grave.
It’s forgiveness we need,
To make our fate seal.
It’s only through Christ,
Our soul can be saved.

Like how you brought it all together about what does matter...Forgiveness and Salvation through Christ.
You are probably one of the few who took the stance of the pen causing more damage.
I like this very much.
It reminded me of Proverbs 18:19 "A brother offended is harder to be won than a strong city."
I have counselled some who were deeply wounded emotionally, because of the spoken word!
Thank you for this thought provoking piece.
