Security?
Does
security have a going rate?
What,
precisely, is the calculation
Demanded by
protecting the nation
And its
capital? It’s the other state,
Of course,
aggressively belligerent
And quite
determined to get its own way,
Which is
responsible for this outlay
On our proud
military deterrent.
Whatever’s
spent, the other then spends more,
Thereby by
forcing increased expenditure,
But never
enough, it seems, to be sure
Peace will
be achieved and maintained through war.
When they
attack their aggression’s immense,
When we
attack it’s always self-defence.
D. A.
