Grozny Again Poem by Nassy Fesharaki

Grozny Again

"Let it go…"
-many say.

Easier said than done!

Grozny is a word
-is city, history…

Grozny was built on bloodshed;
-sheds blood in Boston and Paris
-and Moscow, with bombings.

Now dive deep in valley,
-Squaw's with savage and Métis!

They have all been oppressed;
-Dzhokhar Tsarnaev is sample!

Grozny!
Grozny!
Grozny!

Grozny is Russian
-with meaning: "Terrible"!

The city was built on
-blood and body parts.

Grozny!
Grozny!
Grozny!

Hey doctor, medicine to hate, pain
-is looking into word's history;
-the germ and microbe of "PTSD".

Ask slaves, (now freed?)
-Indians, under feet;
-every single oppressed.
-Cure is loving them. Clean mess;
-do not add to the jails and torture…
