Blood for oil

 

 

 

“Blood for oil,”

that’s what some are saying is the reason for this war.

And one thing is for sure, one fluids going to flow.

 

But more likely, both will flow for some are saying

“this war is a trade off of; blood for oil or / oil for blood.”

 

The blood of the earth (oil) for;

the human sacrifice of the blood of a few.

 

“Blood for oil” some say is the reason for this war in Iraq.

No more / no less than a case of;

“blood for oil.”
