When I was a younger man I believed I was as evil as anyone,
and when they shelled the Buddhas of Bamiyan into oblivion
I thought I could have a home in a dark brotherhood like the Taliban.
I looked around and there was nothing
ancient or timeless or gigantic to crush beneath my hands
and the only beautiful thing I could find to destroy
was myself
so that is what I did.
