Genital Poem by Nassy Fesharaki

Genital

Meant to write about girl,
In the arms of mother.

She was pale, breathless,
Lying like dead angel!

Goal is same, with changes:
"Watch target to shoot well! "

Lionel got involved,
As soldier, went to fight.

"Pack and leave, " said order,
He obeyed and gathered.

Army built villages,
And trained the soldiers:
"Off you go of chopper,
There, zigzag in alleys! "

Tactical were courses:
"Be aware and alert,
The foe is everywhere! "

Secret came with details:
"Enemy is shapeless,
In Chadors are women,
Mullahs, old, bearded,
The worst are children,
Overcome foolishness,
Treat them as targets,
A zoom, boom, rid of them,
Erosion needs wisdom! "

Lionel, looked at kids,
Innocent they appealed.

He, black, was aware,
His parents had faced same,
From long, when hunted,
And auctioned in markets!

Chose to wear uniform,
Just to find a pathway
To the world of success.

The armies, all forces
Mostly, are filled with the,
Poor-class, hard-workers.

They never mean to kill,
But the fact, as is seen,
Shows committing murder.

When observe dead, fallen,
They disgust own action,
Powerless to stop,
Turn the gun to themselves.

Lionel did the same,
The former corporal
Killed his wife and mother,
Then, daughter and himself…

He must have gone through,
What I went, when younger,
Lieutenant, flying Hercules.

Yes, writing is a must,
Of scene of Chah-Bahar.

Mother held her daughter,
In her arms, shed tears,
On her cheeks ran rivers.

Every word was begging:
"My daughter is dying,
Help us get to doctor, "
Saw, girl was full naked!

I, too, was a soldier, powerless,
And without permission,
Absent was commander,
Planning more brainless wargames!
