Our methods of war have changed
War,
Oh, not that kind anymore,
We have become more sophisticated than to do that old stuff anymore!
We are into remote and technical operations that need technicians not
Troops!
That old method of killing does not give half the satisfaction as this way does.
Our latest cloak and dagger method of killing, injecting fear is now an art to itself,
Imagination is now the name of the game, extending our reach is de-rigueur for this game of hide and seek; Yes we have ‘drones’, I like that term, sounds so classy!
Midget spies in the sky? And larger ones for heavy payloads, yes we have gone
Beyond all expectations, we have saved millions of dollars and are so proud of
Our inventions of economy, and range of purpose; dazzling in their simplicity!
we are so self-satisfied at our ingenuity, we are besides ourselves…
How technically brilliant our killing mode has become,
we must pat ourselves on the back, as this is way beyond mere sucess!
Once this phase is over, improvements will surely be part of our arsenal.
Once more shall we be in the vanguard, Again fearing no one….
