Did Manning Help Avert War In Iran? Poem by Nassy Fesharaki

Did Manning Help Avert War in Iran?

Eyes focused on the screen
Fixed are arms; scaffolding
Runs gutter as brook; teardrops
Volcano is flamed: "Is this life? "
Spits out the lava; long the sigh.

A message on Viber:
'They ask me my place
It's behind the mountains
But I came to this zoo
‘Big mistake'
I wish me to return
My worry will be one
My sheep, goats
Becoming food for wolves'

Then paper, article on Manning
Reagan, Bush and their lies
Tel Aviv, Neocons; falsified history

'Come tears; out with life
Relieve me from this corpse
(Watergate, Bagram and Cuba)
Better lose Goddamn soul
Than being an asshole...'
