As a nation, we send more military aid
to other nations than any other country does.
But it’s all a con game, the old flimflam.
The money stays right here at home,
our tax dollars going to corporations here
that manufacture arms, munitions & weapons of war.
And those in government take money from those corporations
to keep us at war, when they can, while ever always arming
the rest of the world as well, setting the stage for future conflicts.
Fear your neighbors! Distrust their motives!
Anger, hatred will follow. You must protect yourselves!
We can help.
Guns sold as peacemakers to one side, then another.
An escalating arms race? More money to be made.
Greed runs amok.
War profiteers. Masters of war. Dealers of death.
War is the drug we deal. Addictive. Often fatal.
Ours is the hand of Midas, destroying all it touches.
