AFGHANISTAN

Your eyes flew

opened sad

when you gazed on

at your land

all around you

being destroyed

by the work

of the evil ones.



People's hopes

had been lost

for so long

and the beauty

of your land

still stands

so forlorn.



For too long

The name of peace

had been vanished,

from your hurting

heartland and

from your silenced

lips,

by too many wars,famines

and the Taliban's terrorist's

cruel regimen.

Wonderful tribute to a people who only want to live in peace. One thing I learned being in the military, people everywhere desire the same thing: A peaceful, decent life free from war and strife To enjoy things we take for granted. That is why America must remain strong So we can free those enslaved from such wrong

yes... people hurting everywhere, oppressed by the few who use their power in wicked ways... ie: Tibet, Guatemala, etc. you wrote this very well. all life is sacred, and if we want our children to have a 'world', now's the time to do something about it! the first key is understanding. eric
