Analysis of How Many Has A Pen Killed (Bussokusekika)
Edwin Tanguma 1966 (CA)
How Many Has A Pen Killed (Bussokusekika)
I once hear a tale
About Mexican judo
And what is the point
The pen the gun Tsar Bomba
Did a pen design the gun
How many has a pen killed

About this poem
War…peace…A pen seals either outcome and fate of those involved…I wonder…What of my inkhorn???Is it possible to rewrite the story that I’ve written with it???That is if it is returned and I choose to reconsider my judgment…Then again it could just be a silly little rock which is of no significant value…Could I be the one whom the goat of mendis has foretold???As if one can be the one foretold by all known religions and beliefs…My religions better than your religion…My religion is right and yours is wrong…I know what I know by what I’ve been taught…By knowledge passed down through generations of the wise…Oh well…I’m still sitting around waiting for an Uber…I really don’t know IF/when it will arrive…IF my invisible friends will take me away with them…Or leave me behind…King,pauper,Elijah???The voice of the bride and bridegroom???What will it be like IF /when my voice goes silent…IF a tree falls in the forest???
