See, it’s not the fighting
that kills most people.
It’s the starving.
Food’s worth more than gold.
Noble ladies sell their diamonds
for a sack of potatoes.
Things get bad enough,
the poor start
eating each other.
The thieves,
they love a siege.
Soon as the gates are sealed,
they steal all the food.
By the time it’s all over,
they’re the richest men in town
