From You Poem by Nassy Fesharaki

From you

Thanks to the politics
-Hollywood, celebrities
-and actors, followers
-Darfur War is over
-the shouting is silenced
-and Sudan's forced borders
-are again divided…

Bravo to the West…
Bravo the brains…
Bravo claimers…

But bullshit to you all! ! !

Millions in famine
-losing life
-children are asleep
-not after pamper, milk
-since they are powerless
-are dying of hunger…

You do not understand:
-"Famine is desperate! "
-"Thousands of innocents
-in Sudan, Somalia and Yemen
-are homeless, with no roof, no shelter
-thanks to your law-order
-and Arab-Spring
-brutal civil wars
-all imposed by so called civilised
-modern man…"
-and you don't understand…

No you don't
-employed is the man
-full timer; on his land
- (His homeland)
- (Ancestral Nunavut)
-but homeless thanks to you
-civilised and modern
-you took him by your laws
-killed him and his culture
-by killing his past ways…
-you forced him to couch-surf
-now he feels as burden
-so wants death…suicide…
-'Such a life, misery
-is worthless; why to live? '

You do not understand
-no feeling to digest
-East German, West German
-North and South Korea
-Or Yemen or Sudan
-and so on…
-you elect and select your leaders
-civilised and modern
-they sell arms
-and dispatch ships, naval
-and drones
-to kill and shed blood…
-and result?
-self-defence is normal
-in man and animals
-why to doubt Korea
-why not set for a war?
-even if nuclear! ! !

You do not understand
-dead is your memory
-you never can recall
-heroin was drug, medicine
-for the cold, bronchitis
-smoking was great
-in the films and movies
-later they acted as
-the recent opioids
-mass deaths of the addicts
-she took it for five years
-prescribed for relief
-of the pain, chronic
-it is hard for her when confused is saying:
-'I am lost, do not know what to do.
-too late I realised…'
