Children Of God Poem by Nassy Fesharaki

Children of God

I am told: "Be Hafez,
-never talk straight,
-use simile, metaphor, indicate…"

I cannot when I see bloodshed
-side isn't important; regardless who comments
-bloodshed is the same by the foes or friends…
-I must talk straight and in face
-being by the mullah in Iran, Kremlin or White House
-or Sana or Riyadh to rulers of Far East
-Asia, Africa, Al Sisi to Assad, whoever murders the innocent
-rapes the girls and burns them, or takes them into cells to torture
-anyone hurting the "Children of the God…"
-using hand, leg or bomb or selling armament to killers…
-as makers, suppliers or dealers…

No, no, no I cannot sit idle
-neither can, nor want to be Hafez

I am set to die for what is right
-will they catch and send me into cage
-as they did,
-as have done and are on
-the poor mass
-like the ones in Cuba…
-let them come
-my life is only one
-I am set to die for what is right
-in such case I feel light
-to have done what I must

Therefore I have said and say it loud:
-"Down with the liars who
-claim as defenders
-but in fact are killers
-of the poor "Children of the God"
-hear me Donald Trump?
