Foreign Affairs


A leader is butting heads with another,

like a bull getting ready to kill another.

They're in a huff over some space, 

they both claim it belongs to their "race".

The tension is escalating pretty damn high.

They've both made so many weapons,

stacking them up, would touch the sky.

It seems like they're willing to risk blood and bone,

with weapons that will revert man to fighting again with stones.

What sense does it make to fight for something that will be gone,

when the weapons that are used hold the destruction of God?

The gamble is bad from the start,

the losses would be too great to count on a chart.

It is ridicules for man to put so much on the line

for things that don't even hold the value of a dime.
