Please watch how Afghans in Kabul desire peace so much theyd scribble it on the walls.
I was in Kabul recently and as I was passing by the high, barbed-wire walls surrounding the Ministry of Finance, I noticed the deep wishes of Afghans graffiti-ed on the grey walls, declaring :
Peace is happiness
Peace for security
Peace is mutual respect
Peace is friendship
Peace is our hope
Peace is our desire.
I couldnt capture all the graffiti in time, but need we demand more Afghan graffiti to prove their desperate desire for peace, while the world gets un-imaginatively stuck in the tiring idea that bombs and bullets can meet the needs of their hearts?

For those who would remember Afghanistan
Dont just remember its ruins
Remember the writing on its walls saying, Peace for security
And most of all, remember her people
Afghans who want to make human contact with others
Radio : I want to speak more to my daughter but telephone expenses are high
Afghan wall wish: Peace is good fortune
Afghans declare on the walls : Peace is happiness
And most of all, remember her people
Afghans who wish it so much theyll write it on the walls : Peace is our desire
