Fallen Freedom Fighter

[ChosenX]

Afghanistan you were once a rose, but you've lost your pedals
The real freedom fighters lay beneath your soil without their medals
Afghanistan what a beauty u once were, but your husbands have died
Much like a widow who does not have a shoulder to cry
I ask why, do you bring this image upon my eyes?

I would gleefully trade this side of the world
If i could just once more, see your modest flag unfurl
Without the accompaniment of an ember
The red, green, and black silk material is tender
Allow me to pridefully bear you as a motherly vest
To cusion the reluctant bullets that head for my chest
Crafted by God, you have given me breath
Your water runs dry, yet you prevent my death
Kabul, I know of which vegetation you once gave birth
I happily fall for you, to prove what your worth
Bury me in the warm embrace of your earth

Will you not be once again?
