An example of such work is called Afghan Burns, The World Rejoices: ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ The streets are lined with blood, ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ The dust is coloured red, ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ The Orphan lies abandoned, ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ Without food, water, or bed, ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ The once enchanting city, ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ Is now the capitol of fear, ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ The world has shut it's heart, ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ Pretending not to hear, ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ The once green hills and valleys, ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ Are now pits of graves, ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ The once safe home to run to, ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ Is now a killer blade, ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ The once heard noise of laughter, ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ Is now the wail of grief, ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ The lives of many children, ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ Are wretched and very brief, ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ With every drop of laughter, ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ The birds they used to sing, ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ Now with every drop of blood, ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ The trees and mountains ring, ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ The morning call to prayer, ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ Is shattered by the sounds, ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ Of early morning fighting, ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ Upon civilian grounds ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ The martyrs are gone, ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ Now the Muslims fight each other, ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ Where is the Muslim Ummah, ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ To care for one another. ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ You can call yourself a scholar, ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ You can say you are a king, ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ But when your fellow humans die, ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ You hide and do nothing, ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ You can sit and say it's sad, ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ But it will never be good, ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ The troubled lives of those people, ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ Will never be understood, ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ And all the time the world, ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ Thinks it fun to sit and see, ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ All the poor, and dying Afghans, ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ Crying in their plea, ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ And it seems that as their blood, ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ Drips uncontrolled, ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ The story of he truth, ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ Will never be told, ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ Now the whole world is its enemy, ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ No one wants to strive, ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ While the world is merrymaking, ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ Afghanistan is burned alive. ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~
