The Nuke Norms.

                    I
Strike when you are weak,
Your courage will stand up and speak.
Strike when you are strong,
To make it right, though you are wrong.
                   II
Shudder a strike, to announce,
If you know your strikes are bound to bounce;
Shiver not a strike to pronounce,
Being sure,your enemies,you will trounce.
                    III
Be discreet not to strike
Just to enable your rivals, to think alike;
Be upright to annul an attack,
With a placard of peace,on the right track.
                    IV
Be human never to strike at all.
Because it drives one side, to a fatal fall.
One's fall, does not make the other tall;
Let the truth of truce, be the nuke's pall.
