{The War in Afghanistan}


The War in Afghanistan

Uncle Sam,
Expanding his mission in Afghanistan.

Or is it only to get closer to Pakistan?

What does it mean for the Queen's women and men?
Will it make it more safe for them?

Or is it an invitation
For an even more aggressive opposition?

All of this wrath.
Who can predict the aftermath?

Terrorism.
Heroism.

Intervention.
Invasion.
Demolition.
Devastation.

Spending millions of dollars
Forcing millions into squalor.

When will it end?
And what will it mend?

Women forced,
With no option of divorce.

One step forward,
Two steps back.

Where's the progress?
Is it retrogress?
Politicians digress.

What's it all for?
Should we continue to fight this war?
