Let There Be Peace and And Finally War

"To be prepared for war is one of the most effective means of preserving peace."

LET THERE BE PEACE

Let there be peace around the world

Pray that battle stations be draped with cobwebs

But stand ready with well trained troops

An army and navy, the pride of our defense

For there are those who won't share our peaceful, gentle nature

&

"Experience teaches us that it is much easier to prevent an enemy from posting themselves than it is to dislodge them after they have got possession."

AND FINALLY WAR

As we have sat idly by

A new terrorist faction has imposed its wrath

Now there must be bombs that fall from the sky

And boots on the ground with a deadly task

As we fought terrorist one by one

Or failed to name them as such

They have multiplied and overrun

As we allowed them to go untouched

Now it is time to put our mighty foot down

And trust generals to put them to bed

It's the only option we finally have found

To destroy the serpent and cut off its head

And finally war is the logical resort

Because we ignored the snakes as they grew

It has gone beyond discussions and a weekly report

Because we allowed their power to accrue

Both quotes by George Washington 1732-1799
