No.181: Who Holds the Pen?

Am I Different or
Just a Synonym?
Posturing.
Makes the Pen Illegitimate.
Hypocrite.

Is this
Wisdom or
Skilled Foolishness?
Is an Inference sufficiently
Significant?
The Cynic is just a Kid
Tired of the Pistol-Whip,
of Limping,
Intimate with Hindrances,
the only Difference between him and a Prophet is
a Mission, Conviction,
but did Moses lead Israel with confidence or the Spirit when

relatives spit at Him with Bitterness?
Did he Look Back at his Image in
the Eyes of his Witnesses in Search of Permission Slips?
Or did the Penmanship of He Who Was At Work in Him Determine His Influence?
