Notes:
(1) An arms race—bit "Sneetches," bit Hatfield/McCoy.
- A Cold War perspective, re: perilous toys.
- It's not about butter, that's simply the grounds,
For other-side-pride and how silly it sounds.
(2) A kinda deep ending, a warning for all:
Mutual destruction's as small as a ball.
- No game ball, that is, for warring's no game,
Albeit it's treated as one in the same.

I was obsessed with this when I was younger, to the point neither of my parents even wanted to see it. Re reading it a few years back, I question myself now lol
