ALMOST DAYLIGHT (AFGHANISTAN)

Folder: 
JOURNAL#26

the world's majority

a natural stage

and passion

the direction of chase

the inhabitant of hairs

paying a form of homage

to the scalp

man

the most violent of scars

upon the living body of peace

this grain of glimmer all insight

meets the ocean of many experiences

gained

as well as those misunderstood

many not always so broadly defined

these shards of horror

teach man

through the maze of

perpetual growth

evolution

the tamest of the truly wild

vibrant yet specifically ugly lessons

cruelty of needless famine

purging itself on war

and its conflicts and confusion

cultural differences

stirred in a lethal cauldron

of uprising and defeat

all factions and subsequent factors

age old foundations

for unbelievable destruction of

humanity and rigorous blood shed

all fatal forms of power

so grossly distorted

and much too brutally relied upon

anarchy

to the most terrifying degree

slapping people down to the lowly ranks

of the despised and spat upon

reduced to wild eyed scavengers

dazed in their mistrust

such deep valleys

of beaten bloody backed hatred

only fosters

steeper and steeper

more treacherous mountains

to attempt to stagger through

the task

to transform the previous mere existence

among the rubble

into a proud, fruitful living

for countless millennium to come

May God and his son Jesus

along side

Allah and his prophet Mohammad

bless all in such needful quest

for a more loving planet to inhabit

on such breath held priapus

of great good change

for dear mother Afghanistan it is

at last
