"There is a Great beast in the world of men.

It awoke in dark times,
to fight a terrible enemy.
It stormed through europe,
across the far pacific, and
crushed the evil it
found there underfoot.

But when it was victorious,
when the crooked cross and
the rising sun were done with,
the Great Beast's keepers
found that it would not go
back to sleep

The beast had many heads,
and on its heads are written
names: Lockheed. Bell. Monsanto.
Dow. Grumman. Colt. And
many more.

and they are very very hungry.

So the great beast must be fed:
and every generation,
our country goes to war to do just that.

A war for war's sake, usually.
And one that could have been avoided.
But there must be blood
in extraordinary quantities, and
whether it is foreign or American
is of no consequence at all."
