Sense Sonnet - Acher

 Forever War

Afghanistan, "So long," we say.

We came some twenty years ago.

Longest war fought by U.S.A.

But there's no victory to show.

We did fight your Taliban for

Giving Bin Laden haven in.

We decided to go to war,

But never really fought to win.

Lots of our powers that be

Are ever looking for excuse

To be fighting war constantly,

No matter what human abuse.

Afghanistan, time out for now.

We may resume this war somehow.
