The Cost of Peace

The Cost Of Peace 
Not one red dime,not another cent. 
Not a dollar or a cheque do I give to you. 
Not the trillion dollar deficit or is it? 
more? 
All of the oil in the world. 
All of your machines. 
One Person and they immortal soul. 
The pain of a prisoner. 
The freedom of a man. 
The blood on the tree. 
The cost of peace. 
Me.
