In Afghanistan

by PassionFaerie

I wrote this poem about the UN and Canadian forces being in Afghanistan. Jarhead fit in wit the whole US being at war thing. If I offend anyone I didn't mean to.

In Afghanistan

When Chrétien said, "lets go" we should've said "no"

The UN forces are to keep peace not make war

Our brave soldiers didn't fit in, they needed to change, green doesn't fit in a desert terrain

They were loaded in tanks that didn't work, they got blown to bits, ouch that hurts

They built roads and schools that were destroyed the next day, why are we still willing to pay?

The UN has called for help from more troops, the Dutch, the British, the French and US have all sent a few,

but none are willing to do what Canadians do

To stop terrorism is a noble thing, but now we're in war, soon it'll be another Darfur

With 60 Canadians and thousands of civilians now dead, we're wondering when this war will end

Fin.
