1402 - Afghan mound

The British troops will pull out of Sangin
In central Helmand, in Afghanistan
Why we were there’s open to discussion
Perhaps it’s not for the reasons given
Which are often contradictory when
Sometimes it’s to stop terrorism or
It’s more to counter the dread Taliban
Influence on the locals. Yet we pour
No comparable resources into war
Down in the Congo, or in Medellí n,
Colombia, that cocaine gang haven
Meanwhile, NATO have decided that war
In Sangin will now be American
Good luck guys, but that chalice is poisoned
