    Open Your Eye's

    I don't understand, when you see a storm coming you take shelter to avoid it.
    when you see a car coming you get out of the way to avoid getting hit.
    What was done once seen; the country being manipulated for self gratification and greed?
    Was it not visible?
    Or were eye's shut too tight to see?
    what is the price of land?
    Is it worth the life of a man?
    Open your eye's and look at Iraq and Afghanistan.
    What is War? What is it for?
    Peace? or a Piece?
    A pawn captured? or a nights horse?
    Of coarse,
    The objective is to capture the king by leaving him with no recourse.
    When at a stalemate no one wins.
    War is a chess game that no one wins.
    Even if won is it worth the cost?
    The Economy is shot and Jobs are being lost,
    We can see the storm,
    let'ss open our eye's and prepare for the future.
