Beware of the Curse

Pen is mightier than sword,
Can it really be true?
Many have fallen for this
As, I am sure, have you.


The written word is robust,
Just a stanza, or be it a verse.
Is something more potent?
Yes, it is a well directed curse.


Many are those who lived
Big, powerful and strong.
But once the foe sent a curse,
They didn't survive for long.


They conquered with weapon
And they won with wealth.
But it was all in vain against
A weapon of silence & stealth.


The written word is mighty,
But a spoken one much more.
And if its a godman in spite,
It has just shut the last door.


Even you wouldn't wish to
Ever earn such a dislike,
If she turns out to be a monk
Who had once lent her bike.
