For want of binoculars the iceberg was missed
For want of lifeboats lives were lost
For want of leadership the big ship sank
And all for the want of common sense
(Titanic 1912)
For want of good navigation a wrong turn was made
For want of protection The Black Hand triumphed
For want of medical attention the Archduke died
For want of successful negotiations the world tore itself apart
And all for the want of good navigation
(World War I)
For want of a good treaty a nation was frustrated
For want of ‘peace at all costs’ a tyrant arose
For want of turning a blind eye Poland was invaded
For want of strong political leaders the world tore apart again
And all for the want of a good treaty
(World War II 1939)
For want of a good o-ring ice formed
For want of favorable weather the shuttle was in danger
For want of executives who did not listen astronauts boarded
For want of drop-dead deadlines the shuttle exploded
And all for the want of a good o-ring
(Challenger Shuttle Explosion 1986)
