Glare at him but he's just a pawn

Be strong to stand against the wrong.

The vamp and the villain sellers of arms;

Killers of conscience, man and animals

Absolutely innocent

Straight face wear.

Slyly plant own guilt elsewhere

On the head, cunning leave

Clues to misguide;

Puzzle the truth seekers.

Use incorrigible intelligence

Twist facts blame others, particularly

The simpletons

The sinful insist on war to finance

Their own existence

That can profit only from killings

Slow poisonings.

Double-edged swords are no toys

For a choice, in need

That the heads were conned, playing

Nukes indeed

Is a reason to feel pity? For the folks it is

Now the duty; do the dirty job clean up!

This is so apt and well spoken. The trouble with nukes -- and other arms -- is that it's a power game in a world of power brokers.
