On Going to War

The decision to go to war
appeals to the rugged Thor
within the avenging Lord
who readily tilts the broadsword
and mounts the warhorse to victory,
oblivious to lurking maledictory.
On reflection ‘tis better to check
with the wise on the afterdeck —
the earthly father, a cautious workhorse
urging overwhelming force.
