Found Poem

Taliban officials come knocking at the door
Looking for a hazara family; looking for the truth
Telling them the truth doesn't work
They accuse him of lying and tell him to move out
Hassan refuses to move; refuses the warning
Again they scream; again he puts his foot down
The neighbors tell the same story; but again the Taliban says he lies
He protests the Taliban soldiers
They bring him to middle of the street and shoot him
Farzana comes yelling and attacks the soldiers
Panicking she hits them
They shoot her too; they claim self defense
