Comment:

A companion tape to my earlier Mystical Visions & Cosmic Vibrations. This one is far more political, though it wasn't exactly intended to be. I love spoken word. The title comes from that saying we all know about the relationship of the pen to the sword.
BTW, the site's make-over is wonderful.
