A Heart Is a Pen

A heart is a pen.

     A word is a thought

     Brought alive by the truths we sought,

     Left for dead in the wars we fought.

Some gods are just men.

     I heard them all scream,

     "Who strikes a match in a gasoline stream?"

     The dream was a dream.


Cooped up in a quarry,

Madmen mine for a mad mind's glory.

Take the pen; this is not my story.


I am a pen with ink nearly dry.

Can't we make haste to those words left to die?

Can't we revive them, at least can't we try?
