Pashto and Dari,
Mehmaan Nawazi
Drew Binsky, his guide Noor,
Got out in time, sure
US withdrew, the floodgates opened
On wings they climbed, no seatbelts fastened
Comm and tech minister, to delivery boy
Black, red and green; to bland white
"Change is the only constant"
When your motherland is stolen, it isn't
Demi Lovato, Sam Smith's non-binary pronouns
Girls, women, their role in society; overnight renounced
"Kabul is bleeding again, stop killing Afghan.." implores Rashid on Twitter
A nation built over a century, murdered in cold blood, no one to save Her
What sin has the common man committed to witness this ruin?
Even a caterpillar dies unto itself, rebirths, and sits on flowers blooming
