Masterpiece

More than a writing utensil;
it can allow you to escape this world.

I admit without shame, plenty of days and nights it has gotten my mind off a lot of things.
I prefer it with the eraser. No scratch outs or white-out needed.

But the ending result is always magical and unexpected.

Which causes me to ponder,
what would life be like if you, me, we, he and she could not have an outlet to this unknown world, that goes on for infinity and beyond.

What’s worse is some people do not even realize how much power is withheld in between their palm and fingers.

Poems, novels, songs have been the great result. How do people not understand?
But let us have sympathy for those who no longer appreciate the sharpener, lead, and yellow mahogany wood

But instead prefer the keyboard, and key pad on the wireless devices.

Still it is better to think that maybe one day the credit this utensil deserves will be credited
And no longer looked on in vain

In any case, it is because of this utensil I have created this masterpiece…
