Modern Man's Utopia Poem by Haleh Esmailian

They said it was all for peace...
They knew nothing. It all got deadlier.
"For freedom! ", they said.
Of chains, to have us released!
They knew nothing. It got trickier.
"ISIS", they said, "Must be vanished! "
It scattered… but not punished.
One said: "Terror! "
One said: "Asad! "
"Islam! "
"Revenge! "
West argued! East admonished!
One said: "Jihad! " One killed for God!
All went beyond. All are fascists.
They knew nothing, only power.
Ain't that enough? All we suffered.
A baby dies… Mama cries...
For them, this means One more palace! One more tower!
Bombardments… Poisonous gases...
We died here. They under covered...
Books were authored, of history!
Of men Butchered! Kids slaughtered!
They read them all! They still blind?
"Nightmare by war is all that's offered."
Dark is the day, darker the Night.
Darkest? The lie: " Human Right ".
Let death, Mama; Set us apart…Than the populist,
Whose nastiness is all this is about.
Let death, Mama; Set us apart…Than he who says:
"US Dollar! Must be the top! "
He who trades the oil by my blood,
By your tears, drop by drop…
He who sells weapons ignites the fight,
Who makes the Nuke, and destructs.
This hell Mama! It's all real.
Modern Man's Utopia! How ideal!
But, don't you Mama… Don't you give up now...
Wounds of the homeland you need to heal.
You wait, Mama… Till the last scene of this whole drama…
Wait till the last act…
Hope maybe restored…
Truth revealed.
