Rise To Fall Poem by Nassy Fesharaki

Rise To Fall



Rise to Fall



Utero her house
Upside down the fetus
Squatting, strange, funny
Placenta of blood, yellowish
Eyes closed, tight space
Her exit was man’s fun


Mother bitch, whore
She tricked and pricked
She stole, hurried
London, New York
To Bombay and Lahore
Atlantic, Pacific, Persian Gulf
All the seas, everywhere


Blue eyed and blonde
She was born
Far away to many
She was seen in mirror
(George was name)
Standing far, near
One could see; she’d appear
She meant ‘hope, liberty, freedom’


George out-loud:
“Freedom to speak,
Live alone; not with bad,
Slaughtered are silent; like a sheep.”
His physique and morals
Distinctive, fighting mind:
“No state without God, ”
This mirror on the wall
Opened door to the world “She is all’s.”

Others came when George died.
The best came with Thomas.
He was third to replace
He drank, drank wine
But was sharp
He was just, he was kind
He purchased some states
Joined them and, she grew
Infected got inside.


Abraham, a poor man, not handsome,
Prophet to Blacks, Civil War,
Established dispute between Reds and the Whites,
He was killed when yoke-man,
He remained core of hope to the world
And rebels of Europe and kingdoms,


And she grew to nineteenth century,
Inherence, she, a child, like mother
Became bitch, worst of whores
Learned to suck, blood-life
Leech to South and the heart
Sucked fabled treasures of Incas
Nailed science, soared to heights


War broke, World War I.
USA got involved.
Then Second
Little Boy, atom-bomb, her bastard
Washington’s grandson
Eyes Schmaltz, like the fat in a wick,
Destroyed, merciless,
Killed thousands and plowed.
In its place sowed the seeds
Seeds of Lie and Fear, seeds of Hate,


Then cold war
The ego of eagle
The Eagles lay two eggs.
After hatch…Siblings keep fighting.
“One must go…regardless”
And here,
Canada made best jet,
The Avro
South’s message:
“Destroy your own work!
That is too dangerous.”


For too long, Halloween
Round the world has been seen
In Peru: “Leaving Kon, ”
Assyrians had in Ur
Now is seen as a game: The Terror
Hippies know and Boomers of Cold War
UFC’s bananas for the North
And the poor fell to death in the South
Daily came the Red Balls
Coup d’état in Iran


KGB’s Counter-part
Opened her umbrella:
“Everyone come under.”
Used plea and trick; or ordered.
Wise and Mouse in wall overheard:
“North neighbor must also be harnessed.”
With their noose we ourselves hung Avro
(That best known masterwork,)


NSA’s story of Merkel is a husk.
Husks sleep in groves in the cold and drought.
Husk hatches, roots grow in right time.
Summer comes and harvest; ripe fruits.
Nevada equals snowfall, snowstorm.
Husks sprout.
.

Love is gone.
Loyalty vanished; and trust.
Sun and Moon are wavy, mistrust.
Wait, stop.
Time has come for revolt and re-thought.


We have read, we have learned-
Of Greeks, of Romans and Persians,
Of Egypt and China, Africa of old days
And Mayas and Incas
All powers ‘Rose to fall’


Oh, Rumi and Gibran, men of love;
Oh, Gandhi, Mandela men of peace,
Joconde-like in a Louvre preserved,
Never damned (like Hitler
Changez khan, Stalin, dictators
Hearts of rock, cold mountains, shades of ice,
Up sleeves, hands in blood to elbows,)
Teach us please ‘Plant love’.
