We Regret Peace | G. Louis Heath

We regret they made peace,
Before we could kill them.
We have a lot of bombs to

Drop and missed our chance
To drop them. Now we are
Saddled with a pile of rusting

Ordnance and our enemy is
Full of joy and he gloats. This
Peace drives us up a wall. We

Love our bombs. We apologize
To our metal gods. We love to
Make war. Peace is no fun at all.
