Dogs of War

A force of ten, with proper mortar cover,
Could take the place. It is a killing ground
If any proper enemies discover
The wall that runs unbroken all around
(Save for the single exit) makes a trap:
He can't get out if shelled, and you can rush
The gates, and blow them open with one rap.
He will be smashed, if you shell right, to mush,
And either way the palace is destroyed,
And with it all his broadcast radios.
The only question is, can you avoid
When he, as you can be sure he will, goes,
Tomorrow's terror? Is there any force
Can hold the country and steady the course?
