Deconstruction Poem by Nassy Fesharaki

Deconstruction

I want to paint myself,
Find me in the mirror,
Who am I, of what race?
What culture and gender?

I looked at the numbers,
Genocides and murders!

Who erases nations?
I blame the Bible!

At first, Jews were victims,
When kicked out of Europe,
They received the bombers:
"Destroy Palestine…"

Took a course in genres,
Novels and novellas,
Icons of literature,
Fiction to fictionalized.

To face me face to face,
Need paint for a portrait,
Also, some large frames,
To juxtapose fact-fiction.

Let us raise the easel,
Need paint and brushes,
Who can fix the canvas?

I want to paint myself,
Within me, my borders,
Want to see face to face,
Just to ask the questions:
"Who am I, of what race?
My gender, what culture?

Who sets laws and order?
What sin was committed?
Under which conviction?
Must I kill, be murdered?
