RANDOM JACK POETRY HOUR: GLOBAL POLITICS
Fall of Kabul
Kabul falls to the Taliban
The civilized world is in mourning
For those who fear theocracy
This serves as a dire warning
We knew this day was coming
Or at least we should have known
Through twenty years of occupation
Our fears have only grown
To the women of Afghanistan
Whose future looms most bleak
We offered many promises
We did not intend to keep
As you walk into a new world
Dark and shrouded in fear
You must find a path to hope
You must hold it near and dear
We must find a way to help
Without bullets and without bombs
We must isolate the Taliban
As we should have all along
Though we knew this day would come
We did not know when
Twenty years is a long time
To finally reach an end
