                                              Have you ever noticed
                          How phallic war can be?
                          Lances, blades, rifles, missiles

                          Appear so clear to me,
                          Are poor attempts for men to show
                          How big a man may seem.
                          A real man knows when to sheath 
                          His sword,
                          To walk away from spilling blood.
                          He uppercuts against the powerful,
                          Never stepping upon the weak.
                          He opens his fist, 
                          To give a helping hand.
                          The only thing in public he erects,
                          Is a white flag flowing with respect.
