End of Days-(why?)

Afghanistan is
A firery pit
Of frightened souls
Leaving weapons gifted
For their protection
Only to be used
Against themselves

Never taking initiative
Of training and money
Improved living conditions

Collapsing immediately
With no retaliation
Not using Afghan air force
To maintain control
Over individual freedoms

Giving up
Conceding
No retaliation
Running
Like mad chickens
Decapitated martyrs
Dropping from aeroplanes
Run over by 15 ft wheels

Like their country
Bad choices
Lack of will
Where did there leader go?
What were his last words?

It’s been past the eleventh hour
For decades
The movies BEEN over
The parents
Should have come home by now

Time has passed
To be responsible
To take care of themselves
Given … Every chance
And then some

The clock has struck 12am
And it is finally time
For better or worse
The babysitter needs
To go home
To their Own
Families…. indeed
