THE LAWS OF WAR

 

The Laws of War

Protect us all

Don't even think

To overhaul

 

Killer drones

Have just arrived

Must be programmed

Humanized

 

Robot warfare

No human control?

Guaranteed

Ghastly toll

 

Geneva Convention?

Critical as ever

Space warfare?

Don't human sever

 

 

Postscript

 

The Geneva Conventions are rules that apply only in times of armed conflict and seek to protect people who are not or are no longer taking part in hostilities; these include the sick and wounded of armed forces on the field, wounded, sick, and shipwrecked members of armed forces at sea, prisoners of war, and civilians.
