Kabul’s Curse

Where in his heart
Does the true believer keep,
Such feelings of hate 
So cruel, so deep,
What satisfaction
Could he possibly earn,
By blowing-up schoolgirls 
Just trying to learn,
As if educated women are
A blasphemous error,
They must be suppressed 
Through fear and terror,
And poverty, ignorance,
Fundamentalism portend,
That such lethal intolerance 
Will likely never end...
