A Faith Worse Than Death

Afghanistan! would anybody give a damn perhaps had a chance, under Uncle Sam They gave them weapons, to fight Talibans enslavers of women, for pleasures of man Kabul was thriving, the west brought calm young ladies attend school, sitting exams Mullahs hid in exile, with extremist Imams Allowed back in, by surrendering Afghans Another failed state, turns hardline Islam say they've changed, nah just a big scam The door was opened, they choose to slam right back to poverty, from where it began Religious fanatics, resume same old sham beheadings, torturing, cut off some hands Warped Sharia law, interpretation of Koran no A la carte, only one recipe, Allah flambe * US couldn't stay forever, done all they can must watch Russia, China, Nth Korea, Iran In tragic war situations, there's no exit plan want to point a finger, start with bin laden * Play on (A la Flambe) no offence intended to moderate peaceful Muslims* Afghanistan Poetry Contest Sponsored by: Kai Michael Neumann 25/08/2021
