olive branch?

If you really desire a true peace
    in this world

You must start with an olive branch

You must convene peace talks
     and listen to every side

But I'm afraid this is unacceptable
To those with the biggest tanks
The largest warships
The high-tech armies

Those who've invested far more
     than simple defense

But have built up
A world-class Expeditionary Force

So many contractors   suppliers
     fuel deliveries   businessmen

Too many jobs!
     depend on it

We'll listen to you alright
But only if you recognize

     our invincibility
     our firepower
     our 'leadership'

And follow the script
     we put in your hand

(Military 'aid' is on the way)
