Mind vs Books

A mind needs books

like the sword needs a whetstone...

 

Words seeking words

upon ageing parchment

discovering passions portrait

beauty from their eyes holder.

 

Reading books keeps the mind sharp

like a swords point after whetstones lick.

 

Stories in all their splendor

feeding the intellectual mind

cripples... bastards and broken things

prefer words over the swords bite.

 

The mind is a weapon

more violent than the sword.

 

Books vs the sword in the minds eye

but perhaps that is the secret

it\'s not what we do

so much as why we do it

 

Be proud of the mind you hold

vs the swords bite.
