WARS BEGIN AND END ON WALL STREET

There was a lot of hoot and holler on the Wall Street Dream of Schemes. Buy the dollar for just a dime and watch it climb back to a buck and then, with a little luck, there'll be a war and it will soar to more than it's worth on earth as we sell guns to friend and foe and every terrorist we know, then sit back and watch the show.

As the death rate grows everybody knows the cost of killing will be chilling, but will be thrilling to the companies that are billing at inflated rates the lethal, legal weapons of destruction. Of course there will be a deduction for cash on the barrel head depending on how many are dead, the price of lead and TNT and who will claim the victory.

While all this is going on, advocates of peace fill the streets from dusk till dawn demanding that the troops be gone. It matters not who lost or won, victory won't replace a son dead as leaders said "We'll stay the course! The force of God is on our side! Just keep the faith and He'll provide."

And the other side of Arab brothers put their faith and trust in Allah, just another name for God. Them or us must be a fraud to claim their side cannot fail and will prevail while our leaders say the same thing. Lovers of peace, both east and west, cry what they know is best, just bring home the men and let us try again. Win or lose, let us choose

OK, God, it's up to you. Whose side are you on?
