Poem (#2) for 01/25/02 by Benjamin M. Walsh / Saalbach:
"Five Views of War"
The fortress cannot hold the gate
Nor cannon break the charge
The cavalry do fight in vain
When captain fights the sarge.
The battlements do stand in vain
The oil trap is weak
No defense can hold at all
Foe's anger's at its peak.
They have hurt our member one
And soon they'll have to face
Our wrath is now, THEIR one will meet
Our vengeance face-to-face.
We can crush their futile hole
Our brute strength rideth high
Cannons, bombers, nukes, and guns...
They have nowhere to fly.
Our fortress cannot hold the gate
Nor anger make them fin
Our battleships do fight in vain
When foe remains within.
