The Buddha from Afghanistan
The great scandal, a god of 20 meters
has been destroyed
the UN and all the civilized world are surprised
they would do anything to save the stones
from becoming sand again
Buddha, would he mind,
but like Abraham, the son of Terah, the Taliban
has shown the world its misery,
the UN will be holy when it shouts
the same way for every person killed
or are the statues more still more important
than people.
