This poem follows the millennial tradition of anti-war art, a tradition which goes at least as far back as Aristophanes. We can, however, put an end to war: “It is now highly feasible to take care of everybody on Earth at a higher standard of living than any have ever known. It no longer has to be you or me. Selfishness is unnecessary. War is obsolete. It is a matter of converting the high technology from weaponry to livingry. . . . This is not an opinion or a hope — it is an engineeringly demonstrable fact.” — R. Buckminster Fuller
