Justification
A world of bellicose tribulations
Spawns advocates prepared to justify
Why it’s right and proper others must die
In order to preserve the nation.
Barbarians just beyond the borders
Are prepared to kill our sons and daughters.
And so, a self-defensive slaughter
Of their children is perfectly in order.
It’s with heavy hearts and heavy bombing
That the moral high ground is defended
And violence might finally be ended
Once the violent can be sure what’s coming.
Any who protest or call for a halt
Are in the enemy’s camp, by default.
