Bastards Poem by Nassy Fesharaki

Bastards

Years ago
-when was child
-mother taught
-as she must…

"Once devil and bastard had a race;
-they would cause problems…"

This is what bastard meant
-cause of pain; in level of devil

Look at books
-Abraham's
-the Torah and Bible
-read Koran

I believe others too
-ones I read and unread

Poor bastard
Poor bastard
Poor bastard

Why must child
-child of sex, unwanted
-take burden, punishment?

I questioned
-with lips tight
-but conscious

Now-a-day children
-are made in sharing bed
-with church and synagogue
-and the mosques left aside
-plenty are bastards

Bastard is not as was
-a swear and a curse

At changes I laugh loud! ! !
