I wrote this way back in 2001 at the start of the Afghan illegal invasion, it could equally apply to those other countries like Iraq, Libya, Syria and the rest of the world where imperialism has demanded that war is the only game in town.
FOREIGN
POLICY.
Listless
eyes, lifeless face
motionless body with hanging
limbs
carried by a mother fleeing
foreign policy’s vicious
whims.
No toys, no laughter
no playing in the sun,
a short pitiful life;
an Afghan child, 2001.
No plans, no choices
no hope by any name,
collateral damage
in the big players game.
