What Are We? Poem by Nassy Fesharaki

What are we?
Man, science and learning
Get me lost; make me think
Only part of being I can see
I accept as truth; we're advanced
We can see and forecast
Lots of things in half mast
What are we in nature?
Sitting here; look at her
Reflections of the light in her eyes
Feel shiver of darkness and fear of the nights
Who are we?
We're nothing though something
The beetles, mosquitoes and planks
Human and sperm and ovule; then a child
We're talking of consent and the rape
How shallow, egoist and selfish

Come Rumi and save me
Are we world or drop?
How about world in drop?
Her face is on desktop, on the screen
Her color, nose and eyes, eyebrows
And I look at eyelash; sword and curved
Most of all her smile, shape of lips
Then I think and question
"Who makes it, what's logic, just nothing? "
In a cave I am but not a bat; simply lost
Holly books, though lovely, most of them are ugly
I'm searching for feeling; flavored with logic
Cannot live with school
Literature, history...anything
The writers and teachers, professors
All are waves on surface
I wish I, could fly with feathers of my own
I wish I could be fish deep in sea
No, no, no
I wish I was a bird that swims and flies also walks
Would I be able to be me as I want?
Is answer anywhere in the sea, on the land, in sky?
