Betrayal
For you we sacrificed everything
our property, our family
our friends and neighbours
and our own lives
thinking you will be our
saviour.
At the most difficult time
of our life or known history
you betrayed us
leaving us like a goat
in front of a butcher
who is rising his sharp sword
being ready to slaughter.
Question of trust
This is not a question of us only
your trust, friendship and honesty
is not for one time and one nation
this is universal
from Saigun to Sangin
you showed your real face
plunging us to the mire
you left closing your ears
when none can listen our voice
amidst the no man’s land
making us food
for the crying foxes and wolves.
