PENCIL AND PAPER — Vildana Stanisic

PENCIL AND PAPER

They are my most powerful weapon,
one pencil and a sheet of paper, with them I realize my dreams,
and I scream what my heart touches.

I bravely go with them to every battle,
I know he will never betray me,
a pencil one and a sheet of paper, the whole world can dictate.
When the poet takes them in his hands, they are more powerful than a magic wand,
they travel the whole world in an instant and a new song or story is created.

They fight everyone’s violence,
against wars and racism,
with the help of pen and paper the poet fights,
to once create a better world.
