Savage Beauty of Afghanistan

the majestic beauty of this place/
seems to lie in this ruggedness and nakedness and bareness it possesses/
looks as though the earth lays her body fully open/
no grasslands to cover her rugged brown skin deep with scars drawn through its sheer war with rivers flowing on its belly/
beauty which is obscenely naked/
something which is ironical for the civilised definition of beauty is associated with tenderness and calm/
the aerial visions of these lands offer nothing but boldness and brazenness/
not one single hint of any greenery is present/
single view is required of these lands to understand that nothing/
not even the most sophisticated armies of mankind can tame these lands/
this is where the Earth shows her true fury/
true uncivilised beauty, one which the civilised lot can't tame/
for it is here that savagery of beauty runs amok.
