Equals

I sit at my desk
                                            I charge through the field
 
Learning reading, writing, and diplomacy
                             
                                    Training to fight my foes in battle

Ink, pen, and words my weapons of choice
           
              Sword, shield and courage used to defeat the enemy       

I write my letters calling for a peaceful end to the conflict
                 
                  I am prepared to give my life for the cause         
           
              Together we share our knowledge with all 
                  In the end we both win the war

“The ink of the scholar and the blood of a martyr are of equal value in heaven.”
