Because the writing of the pen goes to the mind. Mind is the store house of emotions. Emotions are the powder that is capable of triggering an explosion. A sword, finishes off the enemy in a fraction of the second, painless instantaneous.

A pen is a symbol of thoughts / views which is backed by the supreme power of mankind ie. brain , while on the other hand a sword simply represnts agrression and violance.
A pen is simply a tool of best of all powers, while sword is a tool for aquiring one power.
A pen can change the lives of people but sword takes it away.
once the Prophet Mohammad [pbuh] said during his sermons,
" THE INK OF A SCHOLAR IS HOLIER THAN THE BLOOD OF A MARTYR "

Why? because most literate people carry a pen in their pocket, for the days defense against idiots and government that have the power to bring you to naught. not too many carry swords, but you probably need to, when you ask a question that has the answer in hand.

An intelligent man using a pen with cause may affect much more than even the strongest man using a sword.

A sword can hurt and injure and kill only, where as a pen can create many many good things, and also when needed can hurt and cut very very severely. That's why.

To borrow a line from Terry Pratchett...
"only if the pen is very shard and the sword is very small".

because penned words are permanent & can be very hurtful - here is an old saying that a young student of mine changed around a little bit - i thought is was very poignant:
"Sticks & stones can break your bones, but words can break your heart."
