Collateral Murder Poem by Nassy Fesharaki

Collateral Murder

In times I question me:
"Am I the one, only? "

Then take time and recall
Lots of old memories.

Lend my head to my palms
Penetrate in my thoughts:
"Who was he, son of who?
What was our relation? "

And answers are absent.

Contacted some cousins
And friends, relatives,
All of them hesitate
To talk and explain
In detail, logical.
Wonder if know, or not!

Can I say: "Was revenge? "
Or bullies killed, murdered?

I agree, tip of hat,
"Curiosity kills the cat."

Follow the Assange's
US case in London.

Videos in the court
Of "Murder Collateral."

USA sends drones
Very deep in Iraq:
"Shoot and kill anyone
Breathing, on the walk."

The most inhumane
Bullies and manipulates,
Only lies, provokes
Killing of innocents.

The details of London
Forced me to compare:
"Vietnam with Iraq
To life of Che Guevara! "

Worst echo I hear:
Is shameless president:
"Use drone to kill more,
Is OK, shoot them all…"

He is lie-spitting
Selects and considers
The against, opposing,
Regardless of place,
As the foes of US,
To misguide and blame,
On globe, anywhere.

He loves to remain in
The palace of White House.

Am ashamed to look like
Such "Monster-Human! "

Feel that we, together
Fill oceans,
Of venom, as vengeful!

Fear not spider,
It is joke, a nonsense,
Python is human!

I picture secret cells
of Bagram, Abu Ghraib,
Guantanamo and elsewhere:
"Shackle them like slaves
For teaching the others."

Orders the cocky voice
Behind song of MAGA:
"Constantly invade and,
Drop bombs, shed blood."

With their fists in the air
Shout, repeat the puppets:
"We must rule, no one else! "

I wonder and question:
"On what base? "

Watch murder in Iraq
Listen to the call-sign:
"Crazy Horse."

Remember that hero
From the Montana
And question:
"On what base? "

He, the Red Indian
By mistake trusted
Officers of White man
Like Iraq to Kabul to Bagram,
Venezuela, Bolivia, Palestine,
Now share same slogan:
"Down with the America."

Seem to be too many
Characters, stories,
Throw in Germany
And NATO countries
And Arabs of Riyadh
As well as Emirates
And Egypt and Jordan,
Supporting oppressor,
The devil, bully-led
"Illogical USA."

My thoughts go to La Paz
See heroes, world around.

Uniformed, with beard
Comes to me Guevara,
Behind him, Arguedas
Both killed by Pentagon.

Sit and watch, the court of
Assange in London.

Plants hate USA
Insists on Assange:
"Handcuff, send to States."

Laugh out loud:
"USA and justice? "

Feel being audience
In Bolshoi Theatre
For one of the plays
Written by a doctor
Called "Chekhov."

He teaches, advises:
"Show nothing in the set
Unless used, not useless."

He, unlike the others
Writes to make stages
In four and not three,
So, faces rejections!

Vania and his niece
Are part of story:
"Came the rich from town,
Scratched surface, gone,
The things are as they were."

Wonder if in White House
Is ear for advice
That: "Ego is short living,
Nothing comes out of it."

Feel ashamed of US
Since I look similar,
By walking on two feet
As "Human! " "Evil! "

Thought of shame stands hair!
