Hard It Is Poem by Nassy Fesharaki

Hard it is

Hard it is, very hard
-like being tightly tied
-in open, in front of your eyes
-your woman being raped
-being fucked
-unable, you observe, are stuck…

Living there among the animals
-walking on their feet
-appear as mankind
-total uncivilised
-no knowledge, character, social life
-no hello nor welcome or waving for goodbye
-their heads are in the bags
-of barley, hay, dry
-while few get treat of a bite
-of beetroot or its kind

On their backs
-loads and loads upon loads
-to saddle loads are tied

And they walk chests forward
-abused and unaware; and proud
-of being who they are
-duplicates of mankind
-but harmless animals…
-who in times
-sting as do the wasps
-and bite as wolf, cheetah
-or a fox

These vultures and crows
-eat dead, shit

Hard it is, to be there
-with them and among them
-it is hard, very hard
-like being tightly tied
-in open; in front of your eyes
-your woman being raped; you stuck…
