Afghanistan

1 Leave a comment on verse 1 0 Children learn not through books
For paper is scarce expensive
But through football skills
Finding a home between the mines
Dusty silent but deadly
Limbs autographed by war
Robed in Man Utd shirts
Red hides the blood
But the stain of injustice
Well, that’s something you can’t
Wash away so easily.
