afghanistan




i guess love
will have to wait

until rocket launchers
and secret police
in not-so-secret
camouflage

quit smoking
and cock-fighting
on foreign borders

    OH!!!

    Is your sweetheart in Afghanistan? Wonderful poem, dearest one! I always admire your poems and think you might be getting an A+ in English.

      Not yet, I talked him out of volunteering for Iraq duty, but now his whole unit is being sent to Afghanistan this November (most likely), though these things have changed in my favor before. :s

      I am remaining hopeful, glad you liked it darling Mum. <333

    We all need to just get some things out, its just good that when you get something out...you express it with beautiful words instead of senseless violence.
    sincerely,

    LOL You know, normally I dislike writes on war and politics, but this just sang. It wasn't preachy, and... honestly, could be read on many different levels.
