Fought on the page

With double edged dagger I lunge and I stab, your total and focused attention to grab,
When the means to the ending's your only reward, and the knowledge the pen's mightier than the sword,
As I look on the carnage I left in my wake, and I pray that this battle don't cause me to break,
I pray to the Lord and I truly implore, that this fight be my last, I've no strength anymore,
Then I ask for the wisdom God grants to some men, to show me and now, how war's won with the pen,
Then a wiseman came to me, explained so I knew, that yes swords they win wars, but much blood is spilled to,
Is it not with a sword you can take a king's crown ? and when enemies rise up does not sword take them down?
But the wisest of scholars from the dawn of the age, is the one who fought battle with just pen upon page,
The one with diplomacy, humility and tact, did bring the war's ending, precise & exact,
The one with much wisdom to this day remains stood,while the broken & empty they hungered for blood,
Still they come with their weapons and war they do wage, but the warrior who triumphed fought battle on page.
