The Afghan Beast of War

Cries of agony Desert land No-person zone No man’s land No man can control the dusk and sand Tanks squashing the houses No hope No hospitals No food No life Just battle Guns The bullet Evil deadly bullet Armies formalise To take over the no man’s land None survive Because the ones who live in the desert Aren’t men They are heroes A consequence of war Twisted surface Twisted desert No person’s imaginable fate The sky turns A church bell rings Dead bodies surround the floor Blood sweeps the houses Fire kills the innocent men, women and children Teenagers fight to defend their country The evil desert The beast of war
