Books Read Poem by Nassy Fesharaki

Books read

Recently
-most of books, which
-I read, studied
-rather all, heavily,
-have been, are betrayal…

Infidel
-Lolita in Tehran
-and books of Afghan
-as well as the Mormon's

Are to sell,
-make money,
-reward fame!

Authors' joys are short-lived
-soon or late, they will miss
-what they have defamed and
-the doors that are slammed!

I too took refuge
-have hard life, feel abuse
-but watchful and conscious
-have withheld the old pen
-and amassed my papers
-have left them in pending.

Already miss Mum and
-father and siblings
-and what is left of them
-even dust to stone on graves.

Yes, Yes, Yes! ! !

I condemn all parents
-each, every, all of them
-including myself!

Kids never ask to come
-though many choose to part
-then, parents deserve…what? ? ?
