During the days of Moses
People made sacrifices to/for god

Before the Christ was born
People made sacrifices to/for god

After the Christ was born
People made sacrifices to/for god  

Last year a newly appointed leader stated
"We must all make sacrifices"  

Yesterday another newly appointed leader stated
"Sacrifices must be made in order to cut the budget"

The highest cause is the freedom of humans
This should never be sacrificed by anyone

What the politicians meant to say was
"People must suffer so leaders can live like fat pigs"
