Neighbors Poem by Nassy Fesharaki

From you
(Forced neighbor)
I’m learning

Yes of you, the child of Israel
You have won; nicely live
I’m in chain; in dungeon

I was taught to forgive
I was told “Co-exist”
So I lost; I’m homeless

“Take revenge; don’t forgive”
Was your way
(Digging out the Nazis)

Having learned I’m waiting
And I wait; wait and see
How the time will repeat

I foresee you will be
Once again displaced
Don’t cry; be ready

Heading for Babylon
Out of Spain as you know
I don’t know; sure will be

I’m in hell and can feel
Life in hell for us; me
For you too, feel sorry
