Child Actor Poem by Nassy Fesharaki

Child actor

I received URL
Of movie to observe
I watched it eagerly
Relived my memories…

Vietnam to Iran and Iraq
Saw flights of F5s
The E kind…

Sang Lennon called for peace
Came along Civil-Rights, Luther King
Everyone against war…

Then White House
Was forced to do something
With F5s destined for Vietnam
Best buyer?
Iran's Shah who enjoyed being dog
Pentagon's, CIA's, for White House…

These F5s are in film
Got involved in the war
Reagan's gift to Iraq and Iran

The pilots who fight, die
My friends and colleagues…

Child actor in this film
Has become the victim
Of these days to amuse
Me, brain and my pen!

Film's theme is what I wrote
As young, round nineteen
I wrote it, directed and played

How selfish? !

The name was
-Tragedy
(Of the war….)
