I am the soldier.
I can destroy lives,
With but a pull of a trigger.
I can make peace,
With nothing but a gun.

I am the leader.
I can build up trust,
With but a small speech.
I can break that trust,
With a few simple words.

I am the builder.
I can create houses,
With nothing but tools.
I can destroy them,
With even less.

I am the writer,
I can destroy lives,
With a swish of my pen,
I can make peace,
With nothing but bottled ink.

Again, I'm the writer.
I can build up trust,
By writing his speech.
I can break that trust,
By giving him his words.

Once more, I'm the writer,
I can create worlds,
With but my imagination.
I can destroy them,
And not use any more, or less.
