Framarz Bagheri (1962 / Lahijan-Iran)
Sultan of lie
Sultan of lie walks with me
Hand in hand
On the buses
The minibuses
The subways
Like a shadow
Of a big planet
Sultan of lie
Sleeps with me
In my bed
Laughs at me
Jokes with me
When I am
In the kitchen
In the lavatory
In the bathroom
Under my blanket
In my pockets
In my living room
On the sofa
On the T.V
On the radio
In the parks
In the darkness of nights
On my shoulder
On my lips
In my breakfast
In my launch
In my dinner
Sultan of lie spreads his wings
On my home
Laughing deliriously!
Sultan of lie crawls in the alleys
In the streets
In the highways
Licking its bloody lips
Chanting death song!
