Gun Kills Poem by Nassy Fesharaki

Gun kills

Once again
-gun has killed
-this time in USA

I find me in corner
-dizzy-lost in thinking!
-sit and bite, lips, finger
-questioning: "What is this? "

I recall a poem
-its hero is Jesus

He sees dead on his path
-stops, asks:
- "Whom you killed to be killed?
-Who will kill who has killed? "

USA has earnings
-from guns with yearning
-to make more and export…

Travel these guns; go
-to Turkey, Saudi
-kill the poor Yemenis

Their voyage very long
-world around to Japan, Korea
-to North-South Africa…
-and they kill
-kill, kill, kill

This time though
-aim has changed

Gun builders
-arms dealers
-politics behind them
-and others all around

The gun kills
-brainless, no logic…
