What Did You Achieve...? ! Poem by Sheshu Babu

What Did You Achieve...? !



With bullets and bombs
And nuclear weapons
You created the longest havoc
On innocent Afghan folk

On the pretext of hiding militants
Killing ordinary citizens
You claimed re'sounding' victory
Eliminating jihadists military..!

But,
Did you really succeed?
Did the fanatics concede?
There are massacres everywhere
War has spread and didn't stop there!

What did you really achieve?
Mayhem, horrors one could perceive..!
Sufferings of children and women
Terror is alive and well now as it was then...!


(In 2001, US attacked Afghanistan in retaliation to 9/11 attack)

Even now, the people who are not connected are suffering while US and Al queda, ISIS, etc are not interested in the welfare of common people
