Medusa Poem by Nassy Fesharaki

Medusa

Following the news is funny
-the fake news
-the judgements
-and the prejudices
-also the exaggeration
-and the inflated bluffing

Following the media I laugh
-business as usual
-fool and gain
-copying the
-sorcerers
-of past

Magic…

And I laugh
And I laugh
And I laugh

Comparing Harjit Sajjan's case
-his comments and his tasks
-with 'My Uncle Napoleon'
- (a book in Farsi…)

And I laugh
And I laugh
And I laugh

Recalling the land
-my land
-forcefully named:
-'Afghanistan'
-by Brits and Russia
-and my people sacrificed…
-for the greed of the invaders…
-asphalting roads with their blood
