He And His Son Poem by Nassy Fesharaki

He and his son

Pachamama is a name
Chosen by Julia…

I read her article
On changes in La Paz…

Like many, she confirms:
"Coup against Morales
Is work of USA…"

I think of my friend
Carlos, in USA…

He, son of minister
In time of the El Che
Lives alone, in despair
Thanks to the USA…

Father was minister,
He climbed the mountains
As did Che with Fidel…

All of them thanks to the
Oppressor, USA…

Great man of La Paz
Was cornered to escape
And ended in arms of
The makers of devils,
MI6, in London.

He, like Assange
Was wanted by US.

Now his son, grand son,
His wife, and his daughters
Live as if are beggars
Thanks to the USA.

Then I think of Hamza
The son of Bin Laden…

So, words Julia Fernandez
Fan the burning flames
Of anger, awareness
Thanks to the USA…

She speaks of devil
And mentions USA
"Why the hell to remove
Elected president? "

And I think; hit my head
Against wall, for martyrs
Demonised as devils…

And see Bush well placed
While he was the core, base
Of Big Lie: "The axis of devils…"

Anxiously bite my nail
When thinking of sixties,
Murder of "X" and "King"
And the two Kennedys
And Lennon and others
(All, freedom lovers…)

Read news of Iraq and Iran
And all the world around
Stained with the blood
And Kabul and Bagram…

I see the displaced
In dinghies, immigrants
Killed, drowned in water
Or cannoned by soldiers
At the so-called borders
Or cut off, divided
Children and parents
Thanks to the USA…

Thanks to the USA
And a whore as mother
That did same in London!
