Out Of Afghanistan And The Un Poem by James Bredin

After we’ve pulled out of Afghanistan and the UN,
Declare a national holiday to celebrate what we just done,
On the second Monday of October every year from then on,
Dream on because there’s nothing our politicians agreed upon.

The world would immediately pay attention to us,
Pompous UN persons with delusions of grandeur would cause a big fuss,
Dream on because we don’t have an independent politician,
They’re all locked into party agenda and their position.

We count our dead UN soldiers on the Highway of Heroes now,
No one explains if or when Afghanistan will change or has somehow,
And still we can’t seem to see the solution to our distress,
The British, Russians and Alexander the Great were in this mess.
