Modeled off of a Dickinson poem I believe.

This is my letter to the world,
Though I’d rather smack it in the face
And tell it how bloody dumb it is
For starting war in the first place.

All the power-hungry despots
That span the globe of history—
Why couldn’t they be satisfied
With a bit of diplomacy?

But no, they couldn’t be adult
And try to talk things out—
“Instead, I’ll throw a rock at him!”
And we all know how that turned out…
