Saber Rattling doesn't cut it
In this day and age.
Mindless ranting intensifies
A dangerous pressure gauge.
Threats, idle or otherwise,
Prove not strength but weakness
For those who think diplomacy
Epitomizes meekness.
They say that there is strength in numbers,
But that's not always true.
When numbers mask insecurity,
The real face shows through.
Credibility indicates
An inner strength and power.
Brute force and ignorance
Ultimately sour.
Praise to those who seek the truth
Before the world shatters.
Woe to us if we lose sight
Of what really matters.
