Black Gold Rush No. 2

Black Gold Rush 

Half my life we have been at war. Kuwaiti, Iraqi, Afghani and Syrian liberation is a motive I deplore. False reasons are given for invasions. Misinformation from our media stations. We toil for oil on foreign soil. In the wake of our “just cause” are bodies of the dead. Thousands of lives lost while destabilization is spread. We are on a vicious pursuit for a viscous liquid that has lubricated generations of hatred and bloodshed. Who would have thought that a limited commodity might lead us to a nuclear reaction that releases vast quantities of energy from a limited amount of matter.
