Faith And Friendship Poem by Nassy Fesharaki

Faith and friendship

Stone like stood there,
-with its four firm columns
-as have the Pyramids and Buda.
-His eyes on face's sides
-filled silos with opaque,
-in them shined diamonds
-of care and innocence.
-Cautiously with conscious…
-His mane long and hanging…
-Tail's movements friendly,
-fanned young dog; slowly.

Dog, listened, went around
-horse spoke, kept talking…

"Friendship, faithfulness…
-and helping and kindness
-are basis of our lives…"

As if got tired, horse
-lowered head, showing pain
-of what heard of parents
-who told him stories
-of mankind's history
- (migrating, growing,
-wars, blood, expanding;
-until time of engine, cars, planes
-and the horse set aside, abandoned!)

"…we trust, dedicate…
-from time and efforts, to our end…
-This is us, part of us…not mankind's."

Horse stopped with deep sigh,
-wondered dog!

"They keep you as a pet; take your shit
-only fools count on this, and mankind…
-in them faith is rare and can't be found…
-don't ever compare them…not with us…
-look at horse, man's success, see us now! "
