Afghanistan Quicksand.

Afghanistan Quicksand
by james bezerra

What is it
about Afghanistan
that make everybody want to be in it
even though they have no plan
for how to run it?

It’s like an endless parade
of crap and sorrow: Soviets and Talibans
and Americans
all fighting over a nation with no shade!

If I were in the mood to invade,
I would find a place with more oil
and less prone to violent turmoil,
then I’d have it made!

Sure, sure, I know
America had no
choice but to go
and I agree we had to blow
the hell out of Osama’s hole.

But I just don’t understand
what about Afghanistan
makes it like quicksand
for every nation
that invades that land.
So let’s just all agree to stay away;
it’s just a bunch of rocks anyway.
