Repercussions will come;
This world can’t be all safe;

Why waste your precious time
And risk your life and limb?
When civilian unrest breaks,
No army can succeed;
The horrors of the war
Are fresh in hearts and minds;
Why waste your billions
Over ones who don’t want you?
Your country needs you back;
Your family yearns too;

You have just stayed enough;
There’s much to do at home;
