Sword and Shield

by Harshita Das aged 12

Each person has a sword and a shield
They attack and they defend
Some use words, others their hands
Weapons prevent our end

Sharp words at someone cause severe wounds
To someone without a stronger shield
The one with a stronger will
Will be left standing on the field

But what if an undefeatable sword
Came into the presence of a shield which couldn’t break?
Would they both survive the ordeal
Or would they both break?
