Pick Up Your Pen

By now, you have discovered a potent weapon in your hand
One that can start a revolution and topple a government
For human history itself is influenced
By the written word than by any other war

Today, we face a different battle
And you are being called to take up arms
To be at the forefront in the fight against poverty
With the very stroke of your hand

A brick can make a home
But a learned pen can build a nation
kill despair and spread hope
change a life
with the power of words

It is time
to pick up your weapon
Pick up your pen
And begin.
