All are bringing war to a standstill.

No longer do we hand to hand in war engage;

Foes rushing foes with eyes in a rage;

Instead, the scientific gunner his aim to gauge,

Miles away, his gun adjusting to suit,

Deals death to thousands, wherever he may shoot;

With no malice in his heart, by electric touch,

Some mine is exploded, killing and destroying as much

In a single blow, as was done in a day the old way;

And in all the soldiers are out of the fray.
