Pen and Ink

Day 5: A song that has a new meaning to me everytime I hear it.

Pen and Ink by the late Master Rapper, Francis Magalona. A dad. A legend.

When I first heard this song, I thought, "Hey, that's one hella wordplay!" But as I listen to it more, it became more of a song about Rizal's famous quote, "The pen is mightier than the sword." But then again, as it became one of my favorite songs, it seemed a bit more about expression to me. That you do not need violence in order to express your innermost thoughts and feelings. Write it down. And trust me, once you start expressing, it would be hard to stop :)

"The power of the mind translates into the pen."
