Camp Bastion Nights

I have listened to,your stories Heard your talk on Human Rights It’s warmed the cockles of my heart On many a Bastion night. The next time I come across, And I know I surely will The indiscriminate victim Of a Taliban kill I won’t get upset Or have any sleepless nights I’ll know the Tali did it in defence Of his version of Human Rights And when we leave this country After years of combat and bravery And the Afghani woman are Returned to their Burkha’d slavery And ISIS cross the channel Because our security is so bad And unleashed chaos on the streets In pursuit of their Jihad And they demand Sharia law In my native England I’ll try to stay calm And try to understand And I won’t get upset And try not to hate Those religious fanatics with views Five hundred years out of date For I have listened to your story Heard you speak of Human Rights It’s warmed the cockles of my heart On many a Bastion night, Written sone years ago, but the repression goes on with women being denied education and treated like chattels/
