Bin Laden In Retirement

His home is in the rocky caves

now known as The Taliban Heights

He lives there with his trusted slaves

and is offered refugee's rights.

This wilderness mountain retreat

guarantees his freedom to be

safe, hidden, high in the snow-swept

vast valleys where no-one will see

Bin in retirement, growing old.

His job's done. Others stand in line.

Sipping mint tea, home with the fold.

No videos from Pakistan.

In years to come it will be told

This cave is where the tourists dine.
