Evacuation and Loss
The night shone for the full moon,
Sky brewing a coarse monsoon,
Bolted were windows, locked were doors,
The frequency of death frighteningly soared.
But who was this infant high upon the hill?
He denied the storm and just stood stone still,
Eyes shut like blinds and fingers dug into ground,

Hurry, hurry, hurry, we have to pack and leave town.
Hurricane Matthew is coming to knock us around.
We have water, food, clothes, now let’s go…
Exactly what will happen nobody knows!

An Evacuation Order
Folks living by the coast line
have been given an unpleasant evacuation order, not a warning,
" Evacuate immediately, Sandy is coming with rain 
and strong gusts...some of you will refuse to leave town,
standing on the beach watching
the hurricane's four feet tides rise....are you insane? "

Evacuation
Remember when the Taliban 
took back Afghanistan 
from an international coalition
led by the American 

When enemies 
became friendlies 
invading their own 
territories 

Fighting ISIS 
avoiding crisis 
which evil 
is the nicest 

as the crowds stood packed
still the terrorists attacked 
killing their own people 
as the...

Evacuation
Total estimated casualties, including civilians and Taliban 171,000 to 174,000 all in the cause of a very dubious war, returning Afghanistan to what it was 20 years before, and abandoning some of those  who helped and are now likely to be hunted down and...
