THE GRAVYARD OF EMPIRES
AFGHANISTAN
In the land where mountains kiss the sky,
Afghanistan stands, empires defy.
Great armies marched, banners high,
But in this soil, dreams did die.
Alexander's legions met their fate,
Britain's might couldn't break the gate.
The Soviet bear, with power vast,
Left defeated, their hopes surpassed.
America, too, with modern force,
Couldn't alter this ancient course.
A graveyard of empires, strong and free,
A testament to resilience and liberty.
In Afghanistan's sands, timeless might,
An unconquerable land, in the dark of night.
