Afghanistan

Demolition of Afghanistan
bombs dropped by the enemy
greater heights than Vietnam War
Human Rights fall on their knees ....
taking place in populated areas
intended targets, miss the mark
hitting adjoining apartment buildings
hospitals, offices .... masses blocked
into places where congregated
starving, innocent die of disease
deeply routed in Afghan society
displaced children, burning trees
impact deaths caused by the bombing
making headlines every day
Middle East a centre of activity
suicide bombers dance their way
control of the oil and gas resources
geographical position .... transit route
Afghanistan's significance is exported
greed and deceit, greatly ..... pollutes.
