The Afghan Attack

Two, then two more
Then two, then another
People are all
Apathetically dying

Bomb explosion
Side of the road
Random, irrational, occurance
Why won't you let me help you
I'm trying to protect you
With my guns and ammo
Screaming rifles and diplomacy

Baffling me
With cries of our death
Hurting us more than anything

Then two, then two more
Then another, two more
Slip away
Into the terror
From cave to cave
Of desperate sincerity

And rational us, with our counter-insurgency
Will never COIN the reasons

For the hurting and
the fighting and
the dying and
the hellish absurdity
