Peace Not War Unless it is Check Mate
There is no doubt. There is a time to shout.
Humble and bow to order givers?
Imagine King David getting the shivers
And looking for an easy way out.
Does a general ask, would you please do your job?
That would not be a leader, just a follower
Looking for a direction to face, before the head nod.
Help other countries do it better? That's a nice thought.
How can you best help, if you're hungry? Feed the enemy first?
Give others your weapons and then give orders?
You mean you did?
I'm giving the orders now. Give me your purse.
You want your weapons back? I'll think about it.
You want a steak to eat? You can have what is left in my plate.
I can't have your children? Who are you kidding?
They belong to me now, pal. Check mate.
