like so many before me,
I fight, and I toil.
sacrifice my life, and my love...
but I bleed, for oil.

my fathers before me
bled, for our freedom,
for the lives of their brothers,
and those who needed them...
they bled ...
Red. White. And blue.
But the blood that I bleed,
is black like oil

Peace is the greatest thing anyone could ever hope to achieve, and it is the nicest thing you could ever wish upon someone, so thank you. and may you, yourself find peace.
