Seen by his heart so heavy,
Angst at her return

The Prototype
Any schoolgirl in Afghanistan
Makes a target for the Taliban

But failed to explain
That a brain will backfire in a man!...

Here I am
In Afghanistan
To protect the people from the Taliban

You’ve been here now
Near 10 Ramadans
And
Still you cower
In your armoured vans...

Pity the poor women of Afghanistan
In the hands of the ruthless Taliban
Repressed and put down
In a shapeless black gown
At the disposal of any overbearing man.

Yank a Young Yank From Afghanistan
In Afghanistan, understand there was a young yank,
Who from that awful country President tried to yank;
From where we sat,
He is a total dingbat,
And do presume that this is another foolish prank.

They say my actions were utterly insane
Locked me up in Guantanamo Bay

For flying to Afghanistan to deliver a bomb to my brother Hussain...

He bites his tongue when they burn the Red, White, and Blue

Afghanistan ~ "dumb Support"?
Maimed support undone,
the battle won ~
is still that tyranny's succumb
mates jeopardy with truth, upon the run!

Prowess protects more than
the "rule of thumb"!
Support not my position's drum,
If I am able . . . and yet still dumb!...
