[The Expendables]

We accept the reality at hand - we all know that smugglers will be smugglers,
and hostility fits our profile as smugglers.
But we have to ask: whatever happened to open dialogue?

We reached across the aisle in good faith, right there in the game, only to be walled off by bureaucracy.
We were told to file the paperwork, yet in the very same breath,
we were told the 'diplomatic department for foreign relations' is closed for business.
It is a classic case of procedural obstructionism.
It is also a missed opportunity for our community, and quite frankly,
both sides have been denied some truly dynamic interactions.

Have fun to all in the verse!
