Quatrain of Deterrence Works

Deterrence Works - of course it does

Deterrence can prevent war, but
only if a fierce stick is
far bigger than the
carrot,

Thy enemies must see muscle,
they must know engagement
is a fools errand to
inherit.

Thy soul must always be ready
to fight, it must have the
latest and most powerful
arms,

Deterrence comes from fear of
what will happen and possible
entanglement should set off
nervous alarms.
