Mohammed

Mohammed who is in his early fifties next february he will be fifty four
Has just returned from his country of origin but he vows he won't be going back there never more
He says that Afghanistan now more dangerous to live in than it has been at any other time
The country it is ruled by callous war lords and sinister bandits men who live by crime.

He says the so called President of Afghanistan Hamid Kazi in reality only the Mayor of Kabul
His foreign body guards are ever on the alert for to protect his life one must say their hands full,
Kabul and Kandahar are shanty towns from bombings and wars did not bring peace to Afghanistan
And the country now is even more dangerous to live in than when it was ruled by the Taliban.

Mohammed's wife Belinda is an Aussie and their only offspring John is twenty three
They live off of the Esplanade in St Kilda a five to six minutes walk from the sea
He says Australia now my favourite country Afghanistan far too dangerous for me
From war my homeland never will recover it used to be a beautiful country.

Mohammed will never again go back to Afghanistan and he doesn't pine for his homeland far away
He knows he's better off here in Victoria and in St Kilda he'll grow old and gray
He recently visited his siblings who live in Kabul but he did not enjoy his holiday
It is a dangerous land he says to live in where people die by violence every day.
