Timorous Poem by Nassy Fesharaki

Timorous

This poem is meant for
-one that is named as: "God."
- (If exists!)
- "All knowledge, all aware! "

If exists as mentioned
-must encounter
-between me and Rima…
- (following ‘door to door'.)

So, this is about her
-and asking the God: "Why? "

If exists, and is kind
If exists, and is nice
If exists, looks at all,
-to be same, equal…

Then why? Why?
Why? Why? Why?

I insist and want him
-to show us, to reveal,
-with reasons; I repeat:
- "Why? Why? Why? "

He cannot sit silent
-I force him to take side
-either with the devils or with us…

It is said and is seen
-that Satan and devils
-are active in selling
-they deal in politics,
-and in faith, religion
-in and out of cloaks…

The devils look sweet
-they claim to lead us
-with beliefs, brainwash
-abuse our faith and mind!

Yes, loudly I declare
-each of them is evil!

The priests, Christians'
-Kohaním in Hebrew
- (For Jews and Jewishness)
-to muftis and mullahs
- (who branch the Islam)
-to shaman, Mahatma;
- (out, in of Brahma…)
-regardless of the names,
-regardless of their wear! ! !

I have read John Milton.
-his book "Lost Paradise"
-concludes that Satan
-was one of officers
-for the God's "CIA"
- (must mention "KGB")
-to have the Tavarish…
-together with Red-Necks!

He, Satan, bowed, crawled
-approaching the kind God
- (when seeing waterboard,
-shackles, chains, either, both)
-begged God for forgiveness:
- "Remove their blindfolds
-which bring the darkness."

The devils of our time
-are reverse of Satan,
-they reject awareness
-insist on enforcement:
- "Tie them up, shackle them
-divide them into herds,
-make ‘Blind' followers! "

One can say: "These leaders
-spread hate, anger …"
-with lies and the meanness
-have erased "Love Neighbours."!

They put us in muzzles
-rein us, leash in collars
-on our backs set saddles
-to get ride, hypnotise:
- "Want heaven? Follow US! "

When Rima came on list
-went to her, to speak
- "Where from? " my question
- "Armenian, " accented…
-born and raised in Iran…

I have seen world-around
-the borders, I dislike! ! !

Whey nations, cults, divide?
Why shame one with pride?
Why give names to others?
What have ugly anthems?

I fight all jails and bars
-gender, race, any kind
-whatever cuts, divides
-to races, faiths, class!

All of them are the walls
-to keep us in deep dark!

To make us feel as one,
-share life with the love
-I walk, ride, run, fly
-I swim waves' across.

If needed, I will kneel,
-eagerly will crawl…

Since I can, will sharpen
-a great sword of words.
-With Sabre Go to court
-squeeze, push throats
-of the worst, filthiest…
-politicians, religious…

Only God must reply to questions on Rima
-what brought the blood of Armen to Iran?
-why she hides relations with Julfa?
- (a city for them built near the: "Isfahan")
-what happened to them in Genocide?
-why are they scattered and on run? ? ?

My conscious tells me to run, escape
-from the fanatics of cultures and the faiths.

A deep look into time and cultures
-a fair and fact loving study of ancient
-history, behaviours, monuments
-removes walls of darkness.

She is ours, we are hers
-she became Christian
-forced, I am a Muslim.

Now, we are scissors…
-divide, are divided
-sharp to cut, separate…

Shame!
Shame!
Shame!

To Muslims, Christians of Iran
-have erased love from
Rima's bone and flesh
Rima's life, rise and birth
Rima's days, as young girl
Rima's source of knowledge
-which took form in Iran…

Iran was the haven
Iran was the saviour
Iran hugged ancestors

Ancestors who escaped
-genocide and dangers…
-ended in a welcome; but, yet, not!
