With the pen, he wrote kings into reality
With his words, kingdoms arose,
Those same words, slaves inhaled
Their hands building walls, their feet tromping territories
His pen was like the breath of life.

Synecdoche is a figure of speech where a part of something represents the whole, or the whole represents a part. In this case, "hands" and "feet" represent the people (slaves) who are building walls and tromping territories.
Contrast refers to the comparison of different or opposing elements, which doesn't apply here. Litotes is a form of understatement that uses double negatives, which is not relevant in this context. Personification involves giving human qualities to non-human things, but here, "hands" and "feet" are literal parts of people, not personified objects.
