Western savages and mountain men of Afghanistan

twenty year battle royal of nothingness dread

Western savages  departed repeat drama of Vietnam

Taliban victors now 

Didn't "Viet Cong" say, "The spirit of the people

greater than enemy technology."

Afghanistan mountain men no history of defeat

Alexander the Great's fled down mountains

Like Sisyphus,British, Russians, American crusaders 

flee mountain land with dicks in hand

can't defeat mountain men 

20 years trillion  dollars down for nothing burgers no victory


We ain't mad at you Taliban

kicked white man ass for fun

Now time for collaborators sycophants translators 

please spare women girls

mountain caves

Allah gave women girls brains too

Didn't Prophet Muhammad marry working woman

rich intelligent Khadijah

didn't he cry on bosom of Khadijah when revelation came

He liberated women justice fairness 

even in polygamy he said

If you can't treat them equal

and you can't 

leave polygamy alone

Oh Taliban why you want ignorant women half your nation

You are not in Prophet's time never shall be

Come from mental caves 

Muhammad raised you from Ya'um Jahiliyyah, days of ignorance

you return like hog to slop

The Prophet commanded Iqra bismillahi

la jahiliyyah 

iqra iqra 

read in the name of your Lord recite

Qur'an Hadith Sharia not end of knowledge

Iqra Ayat Al Kursi, The Verse of Knowledge

Prophet said Seek knowledge from Spain to China

heard of Moorish Spain

oldest mosque in China

Muslim science ruled world beyond Qur'an Hadith Sharia

where your numbers come from cave man of Europe

Moorish Spain taught you to bathe shower brush your teeth 

gave you knowledge to escape from Dark Ages

into Renaissance

No dark ages in Africa Egypt Timbuktu 

Golden Age of scholars scientists 

heard of Ahmad Baba

Mansa Musa richest man in the world

put Gates Bezos to shame

Oh Taliban and niggas in the hood too

Yeah, you Taliban low information vibration negroes

Pull up your minds and your asses shall follow

Oh Taliban you come from womb with AK47

Plenty guns from Americans, Russians Pakistanis

tanks, trucks, bombs bullets

Shall you turn victory into loss

Do not slay your brothers in the name of dogmatic religiosity

sectarian mythology shall not prevail

only sirata al mustaqim

straight path

Shall you behead brothers sisters fathers mothers who don't agree 

reject your interpretation 

Are you in league with Nigerian barbarians Boku Haram

Oh Taliban you murder in the of Allah

The world is tired of bloody streets  burning villages roadside bombs

farmers can't grow crops animals can't graze in grass

wars for broken bones hearts minds consume too many lands

give peace a chance

Oh Taliban you marched into Kabul today

don't turn victory into loss

Look at your women children in their eyes

exhausted from war death destruction misery

American depart for other wars other lands

Al humdulilah you stopped the opium

Abyad Shaitan made it flow

Now Abyad Shaitan go

who shall fill vacuum 

Iran  

Chinese People's Army 

Call Loya Jirga assemble tribes ethic groups 

Share land with brothers sisters or destroy victory

Hubris makes men of victory men of tragedy

Prophet Muhammad man of destiny

walk in footsteps of Prophet Muhammad

Did Muhammad enslave or set free

Didn't he free Bilal, first Muezzin

cried Al Ahad Al Ahad Al Ahad

Allah the One 

Oh Taliban 

Does Qur'an Hadith Sharia say make love to little boys in madrassas

Haram

shall you marry girls not yet women

Haram

This not Qur'an Hadith Sharia

Ya'm Jahiliyah 

Light  Darkness don't mix

men walk in dark claim they in light

actions reveal darkness of souls

Afghanistan woman said father raped her

then went to Juma'ah salat on front row

father daughter fucker

wretched customs in your land 

like tribalism everywhere

beyond civility humanity 

below beasts 

Oh, Taliban, so right you wrong, so holy you ugly dirty funky

we applaud you defeating crusaders

Allahu Akhbar Allahu Akhbar Allahu Akhbar

Oh Taliban 

don't be devoid of Allah's mercy Rahim

Oh, Taliban make your people happy

let peace love freedom justice 

flow through your precious land

mountains valleys streams

Let Afghanistan live her dreams
