The Quill and the Sword

Devin Vaudreuil, writer

 

Ink.

Quill, hand.

With these three

The greatest of empires

Fell to time and legacy.

Britain conquered the world by sword.

Ink, feather, hand, declared “We the People”

The world shook, cringed, and fell

By the might of mind,

Was the world changed.

No swords, only

Ink, Quill,

Hand.
