Kabul

America destroyed my kite

They laid it flat

With their polotick tock timebomb

Waiting for the revolution



We used to have a tea house

With chilled out harmonies

But the cavelry came

The HOLY cavelry

They burnt my joy



I had this little competition

We tried to see who could fly the highest

When the jet plane yankee

Bombed it down



We're going to rebuild soon

We're going to strike back

For destroying my kite

Author's Notes/Comments: 

We were having a lesson in Music History about middle eastern music and our teacher (who had actually hitch hiked around the world) was telling us about kabul and the kite flying contests they had. This was before the saddam regime...so I wrote this.
