OUT of AFGHANISTAN, a poem

 

The frightening turmoil

sails across my cable screen

An accident of birth

saved me from being

in that anxious horde

 

I muse on such thoughts

while they struggle to flee

from the zealous Taliban

with their beards, weapons

and punishing whips

 

The crucible of our culture

will test those who fled

from that perilous country

to a nation where women

can pursue their dreams


A suggestion: try my novel, THE TRUCKERS, on Kindle
