Control subjects like puppets on a string.
What if they never could do war no more?

Or maybe they could have themselves a duel
These fearless leaders never had to fight
I hope no one will think I'm being cruel
When I confess I might enjoy the sight.

WAR NO MORE-A SONNET

Or maybe they could have themselves a duel

I hope no one will think I'm being cruel
When I confess I might enjoy the sight.

No winners, losers, bearer of the blame
If there should be a war and no one came.
