Shiites Of Virginia Woolf Poem by Nassy Fesharaki

Shiites of Virginia Woolf


It is a pity
We, the unaware, claim more than open-minded.

Shiite
Explained, for example:
Noun: an adherent of the Shia branch of Islam.
Adjective: of or relating to Shia.

As I was told, know
This is half of the
Truth; not
All

Shiite is a person who
Puts his foot
In the exact footsteps of a leader
A published; no effort for change
It is called: “Taghlid”.
No divergence
Or invention
Unless…

Long time has passed from
When the Bloomsbury group
Woolf, best known of the list
Followed a rebellion, of Paris
By walked the path, so meek.

Now their Shiite claims learnedness
As specialists, and the professors
Sheepishly in the muddy illusion
The footprints, interpreted and imposed.

Hardly anyone is true in “No more canonization”
The Shiites have turned Woolf to cannons

Read:
The Death of the Moth
Book, essays, presentations.

Shiite,

Shiite,
As always, is sheepish follower; dumb.
Shiite is horse, if not donkey, in blinds.
