The Powers That Be
So many of our children are destined to die
to insure that our automobiles continue to ride
while the powers that be in the oil industry
take our money and continue to thrive.
Many factions of the oil industry's powers that be
also have business interests in weapons manufacturing for the military.
It's a win/win situation for the powers that be,
but it's a tragedy for all of the surviving, grieving families
whose sons and daughters were marched off, then slaughtered like sheep.
All of us could save so many thousands of lives
if we just parked our cars and refused to drive.
