Alicia Poem by Nassy Fesharaki

Alicia

For too long have waited
For a cute little girl,
She was born in Ukraine.

Is young and innocent,
Yet, one of the victims.

The couple in their bed,
Full of joy, pleasure,
Had dreams for later:
"Why not be the parents? "

A stork, Milky Way's,
Brought a child, cradled,
And set her at the steps.

Poor girl is a victim,
Of greed of others…

Two of them are parents,
Full of love, care, fear…

Factories, arms makers,
Compete for the markets,
To sell guns and bullets,
Also, tanks, and airplanes.

Poor girl is a victim,
Of greed of others…

Thinking of the unrest,
Speak with her mother,
To give me the details:
"Departure? Arrival? "

Here is her message:
"Our city is not safe,
Hospitals, most houses,
Streets, everywhere,
Are collapsed or littered,
With corpses and injured! "
