KABUL

The picturesque Kabul looks like a ghost city
After its fall to Taliban
Citizens turn out to be refugees
‘Evacuation’ a day-to-day affair
Horrifying videos unfold chaos and desperation
Chilling reports of human rights violations
Put humanity to shame
Only glimmer of hope comes from Panjshir Valley
Slain Afghan hero Ahmad Shah Massoud’s citadel
Stands up to Taliban
The Northern Alliance flag flies high in Panjshir
Giving a semblance of resistance and will to fight.
