If war the barometer of civilization be,
From space civilized nations picked easily,
Best implements of war their possession be,
With fresh wars they kill with new ways to see.
All wars are but civil wars indisputably,
As all men are brothers unmistakably,
But if we all brothers be unquestionably,
Weapons should be discarded surely.
The world a close knit globe but be,
Mankind a single unit undoubtedly,
Man has yet to recognize this fully,
For fighting itself be suicide eventually.
