The ***** trade flourishes
The Taliban does too

Obama leaves
A few thousand
Forces there

Still there is
Nothing he can do

And a 54 year old grandmother
Defends her village well
With any luck
A bullet from her gun
Will send the Taliban to hell

A tremendous waste of money

Electric plants
That are too expensive
For the Afghans to run

Not enough Pilots
Means

700 million dollars
Of helicopters and planes
Rotting In the sun
