Purse Strings
Kabul has fallen, Washington’s withdrawn.
It seems democracy has been undone,
But, who are the vanquished and who has won?
To find the real power look behind the throne.
Insurgent regime with rifle and tank,
Seizing power and issuing orders,
Raising their flag and closing the borders,
Then it is cap in hand to the World Bank.
It matters not what they do or declare,
Clear principles must end in confusion
Because sovereignty is a delusion
And faith unfounded ends in despair.
USA, Taliban, Islamic State,
All subjects of capital’s caliphate.
D. A.
