War Over Dollars

We fight for some god,
For any god we fight, 
For freedom and chance--
For the chance one dollar might--
Restore an entire nation; 
Explore a Novel nation;
Return a modern elephant--
And come back again as god.
Death is only afordable--
To those who can afford it;
Time is but adorable-- 
A mere figment of our minds storing it.
Locking it away 
Forever and ever.
Even this will cost them-- 
A million dollar per life.
Currency is god.
Men rest fate in something so fake--an evil so great-- 
taking place to this date-- one can only relate-- by the dollar that's 
at stake. The risks many men take waging war against men.
Fighting for some god 
For any god we fight 
For any realistic chance 
That a dollar just might--
Keep mankind alive.
