Saber Rattling
doesn't cut it
In this day and age.
Mindless ranting
intensifies
A dangerous pressure
gauge.
Threats, idle or
otherwise,
Prove not strength
but weakness
For those who think
diplomacy
Epitomizes meekness.
They say that there is strength in numbers,
But that's not
always true.
When numbers mask
insecurity,
The real face shows
through.
Bellicose banter from afar
Bellicose banter from afar
Echoes as tensions mount.
Reasoned responses are in turn
What ultimately count.
Credibility
indicates
An inner strength
and power.
Brute force and
ignorance
Ultimately sour.
Praise to those who
seek the truth
Before the world
shatters.
Woe to us if we lose
sight
Of what really
matters.
