Jihad Poem by Nassy Fesharaki

Jihad

In a jar
In a pot
In a pan
And in urn
And in lakes
As well as seas
Oceans to the end
Compiled some power
Of water…

Amassed as Assassins
matching size
each drop a soldier…
on its toe for order…

Of Hassan:
"Go devote
give your life
be lifeless…
dedicate with pride…
effective with efforts
………..
give your life."

Jihad turned to plane
travelled round the world
land to land, mouth to mouth
descended for landing on paving
of runways of the hearts, of the minds
unaware of the depths of truth, of the fact,
severe, shady their backgrounds and the pasts.

Jihad in vacuum
lost meaning
dirty its politics
terrorist
became shame…

A mistake by all sides
Open eyes, open eyes:
Jihad is "Greatness."
