The manners we present
must always be proper.
     The matters we defend
     must be appropriate.
          The clothes we wear
          must always be the latest style.

While most of the wars,
we contend, were justified
     And the numbers portrayed
     were just percent.
           Not men, but simply
           calculated figures

No war could be just
from sheer loss of potential
     outweighing the trivialities defended,
     for the contributions lost
          are always price-less.
 
The figures calculated
were just a percent,
    not men, but only numbers
    long forgotten.
