Kabul Has Fallen

Kabul has fallen
The news screams 
Kabul has fallen
In less than two weeks

The intel officers
Got it so wrong
Everyone said
That Kabul would not fall
That the center would hold

Yet Kabul fell
Faster than anyone thought 
It would

The right-wing media
Are having a field day
Screaming
Who lost Afghanistan

As if it was ours 
To begin with

The Taliban
Are playing it cool
Taking control
Letting the Americans 
Leave the country

The Taliban are back
Will they be vicious
As before?

Have they learned 
A lesion?
Only time will tell

History they say
Does not repeat
But it does rhyme

And the fall of Saigon
Resonates in the air
As flights flee
The fallen city

The Taliban gleefully
Taking over
And America has another black eye

A failure of leadership
A failure of vision
A failure to understand
And a failure ultimately
Of American might 

Even American 
For all of its power
Cannot control
Another land 

So, Kabul falls
American power weakens
Politics divide us

Our enemies rejoice
In their victory
Against the arrogant Americans
Ending Pax America
And America being back

Kabul has fallen
And we can not do anything
To take it back

Thousands of died
But for what?
In the end 
We could not hold Kabul
For it was not ours to hold
