Children of Talebans



Teenagers
That even the blood of all desires is dried
By a whip of scary hunger every day
Hang all the hope of their life in Talebans’ hands
Hung on the bait of free bread and free study.



Talebans light
A fire of hostility
In the heart of innocent children
With the brutal video
That Westerners killed Muslims.



They also light a fire of proud martyrdom in the children’s heart
That a suicide bombing to aim at Westerners
Is the glorious way
To receive the eternal Heaven as a gift.



The children
Load the technique to make a bomb jacket and to kill people
In their heart blazing with hostility and martyrdom
And hurl all their life.



Even this moment a lot of children
With bombs wrapped around all their body as a band of glory
At a single motion
Burn their bud bright with jewels of their dream
And fly away reduced to ashes.

  1. In 1994 the Taleban / Taliban (Pashto for "students") arose from the civil war that erupted after the Soviet occupation of Afghanistan ended. it was founded by Muhammad Omar, a mullah who had been trained by Pakistan's Inter-Service Intelligence Agency, and 50 of his students in Kandahar. Within months he had 15,000 followers, mostly Afghan regugees in Pakistan. By the beginning of 1995 they controlled 12 provinces and, with strong Pakistani support, occupied the capital Kabul, establishing the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan (Da Afghanistan Islami Amarat). By 1998 the Taliban controlled 90% of the country. But their refusal to expel Osama bin Laden, whose terrorist organization Al-Qaeda ("The Base/The Foundation") had attacked the US on 11 September 2001, led to an American invasion the following month. Most of the leadership fled to Pakistan and regrouped. By 2004 they launched a guerrilla war and by 2016 were in control of 20% of the nation, while another 1/4 of the country was contested between the government and various insurgent groups including the Taliban.
