Attack is guns cocked and blades drawn
It is bloodlust nourished and acted upon
The instant of inflicting grievous pain
It dates back centuries, to Abel and Cain
Attack is the yell ringing out over battlefields
It causes mushroom clouds and atomic yields
It litters the earth with limp lives like leaves
Nothing can console the mother who still grieves
Attack is the expression of the primal urge to survive
It is the means by which animals hunt to stay alive
It determines whether you live or someone kills you
For attack is the secret of defense, said Sun Tzu.
