The pen IS mightier than the sword

I got a new pen today, and as I always do, I started writing with it to see how well it writes. This pen writes fantastically, and after scribbling on a bit of paper I wrote "the pen is mightier than the sword".

And in this case it's true. My pen is made from two bullet shells from Sarajevo, it was made from something created to destroy buildings and lives - the bullets that came from the shells in my pen could have caused untold damage, but the shells are now being used to house something completely different. A pen, it provides a voice to the writer, and ecconomy to the war torn areas of the former Yugoslavia.

It's quite an amazing pen really.
