Desmond and the Written Word.

what power lies in the written word?
if it shall be, that the pen is mightier than the sword,
then this pen has reached the end of it's worth.

if it shall be, that a picture is worth a thousand words,
then the frame might just as well be holding air

because this pair of eyes cannot comprehend what it sees before it.
every penned-phrase that takes the place of bloody battle
is washed white.

alas, white that's whiter than even snow.

word of man, word of man, you are disgraced, and denounced.
you lie in your latent form, powerless.
where is your sting?
where now the milk and honey?

you hold no sway over perception of the half-empty-full cup.

now, this house rests it's case:
No power lies in the written word.
