Always Poem by Nassy Fesharaki

Always



Always

For days, if, not for years
Kept thinking, am engaged
With fact of giving birth.

Took time off and sat on
A chair, and talked with the
Computer, monitor, Internet.

Start was "Birth canal"
One photo called the same:
"Vagina…"

To this word I smiled.

No, no, no
Not because,
I, too, thought
What you thought.

I laughed at myself since
Never gave same meaning.

Canal, had always meant
From womb to the end.

Soon returned to wonder
"Great and miracle,
Is, women giving birth."

I, sort of agnostic
Listen to scientists
To answer and reveal
The question and basics.

But never, no, never
I accept: "It happened! "

We, mankind,
And many before us,
That have life on the Earth,
Have been born, given birth.

Who and how came the first?

Yes, yes, yes,
We have made duplicates
But tell me: "What was first? "

I spent many years
In schools, all grades
For degrees that can fill
The walls of living room.

"What was first? "
Came to me in childhood,
Has remained all the same.

"Big Bang, " and "Charles Darwin"
Are nothing but some pills
"Pain killers to decrease, "
The senses and feelings
For a while, then returns
The question: "What was first? "

Be aware, the question
Grew tall with my age:
"What was first? "

So, you who may tell me:
"God or Lord or Jesus, "
Or many other names…

None of these convince me
Since they too, have had birth
Whom by?
And what was first?

I love this amusement,
It makes me feel myself
As nothing, I confess:
"Mankind is piece of shit! "

Yet in this messy life
We hurt, kill, and disturb!
