2,000 is the number of years since Jesus was born. Imagine: 1 person killed for each year since he was around. Imagine what's happened between then and now. That's a lot of years.
2,000 is a lot of graves.
It's a lot of trees knocked down to make caskets.
It's a lot of dead flesh.
What if 2,000 soldiers each got a tomb, like honored kings did in ancient Egypt? Each one had a pyramid that reached towards the sky. That his soul could jump from to get up into the clouds. That the sun would bask with warm rays. And each would be buried with his riches: whole hoards of things from jewlery to gold to silver to rubies to gems and dog tags. There would be so many pyramids...all over America. So many pyramids that they wouldn't even be a great world wonder anymore: even in 2,000 more years.
But maybe they would make us understand. Somebody understand. Just how many 2,000 really is. Because I imagine that when you walk through a forest of pyramids, you'd feel quite overwhelmed. Because you'd have 2,000 souls looking down from their peaks to stare at you. The sunlight rolling down their sides so you couldn't hide from it anymore.
2,000 pyramids for 2,000 men.
Men and their riches and their dogtags in their jaws.
Yeah, maybe that's what 2,000 is.
