A simple pen

I can take you for a ride
down the yellow brick road,
the only thing is
you have to carry my load.
I can show you all the sights
that you ever want to see,
we can keep this thing real tight
between you and me.

I can make you..
bow to me,
beg for me,
or curse at me.
I can open up your eyes
if you're blind,
I'll make you see
what is good, what is bad,
make you laugh
or make you cry,
I can answer all your questions
or leave you asking why.

I..
open gates of liberty;
I'll shut you in a cell,
I..
can make you taste heaven
or wither up in hell.
Have you got me?
Course you do!
Rich or poor I'm the one
that you need to close your deal
when your business is done.

I bring:
knowledge to the needy
causing hindered thoughts to flow.
I'm (the object) that unlocks the door
and makes your mind grow.
I take from your soul
what you pour into the earth,
I'll be there in your death
as I was there in your birth.
It is I who have become
man's closest best friend
as powerful as money,
Me,
a simple pen.
