He Knows Poem by Nassy Fesharaki

Not far from his home
A magic tree stands
Alone, free

And he knows
And he knows
And he knows

Love
Freedom
Loving freedom

Rendezvous

Not far from his home
Stands a monument
Mountain, chained

And he knows
And he knows
And he knows

Love
Freedom
Loving freedom

Rendezvous

There Farhad
Stone carver chiseled
Once rose his axe on himself:
"Death better than life without her"

Now in exile
Magically alone
With people around

He knows love.
He knows freedom.
He finds them absent.
