They say pen is mightier than sword,
But only if your words carry some weight,
Conquerer of future you are,
Imagination is your land,
After all what be the worth of a human
Coz science has already made obsolete
For most both their hands and their head..

War would bring catastrophe,
Inequality would bring revolution,
The difference from the past would be only one,
Hero would be the person who can win the next frontier
And that would be the one who could conquer people's imagination,
The only weapon which could accomplish this feat would be your pen,

So keep penning my fellow writers,
Future is preparing to brace itself,
To witness your unfolding legacies,
Alexander could easily be a neandaerthal,
But no one could ever question Aristotle's relevancy,

Beware of yourself,
You will be your worst critic,
As your writing gets better,
You would see more and more flaws in it,

Why can't I use fancy words to ornate,
Why my metaphors sound so cliche,
What would move my readers,
Do people judge me for grammatical mistakes,

Contemplating would enable your growth,
Frowning you would concoct for yourself,
An empty cage,
Cripple your creativity you will,
If temporary, it will be called writers block,
If permanent, your pen would bid adieu,
Coz that would be all she wrote,

Mistakes are like a solution,
Dipped in them, you can refine your ego,
Inspiration opens up the curtains of your sub-conscious,
Coz Ideas start invading your conscious mind,
You can write your legacy literally,
Just keep your head down and stay on the grind..
