Iran And Donald Poem by Nassy Fesharaki

Iran and Donald

I hear the news
-keep distance
-am away
-by force and intention
-part here and part there

But recall when was young
-as if was yesterday
-all of them in year, month
-Khordad of the Thirteen-forty-two
-international: June; Nineteen-sixty-three

I was a student
-and worked in pharmacy
-at nights and free times

"Go and see and find out…"
-demanded Hussein who
-was owner and my boss.

That is why
- I Know well
- I know well
- I know well
What happens in Iran of today
- I Know well
- I know well
- I know well

I pedalled unaware of
-the facts and fictions
-behind me and ahead

On Shahbaz saw the hole
-a bullet in shutter
-the shop sold vegetables

I went on to place
-where we lived
-I grew
-Adibol-Mamalek

Empty, no trace
-of gun or soldiers or
-resistance…

It was Rey
-a right turn and then left
-Buzarjomehr

At the end was Bazaar…

Seh-Rah-Sirus
-saw flags and people

Soon found me over there
-tallest, on bicycle
-came truck with bricks
-offloaded…

And people took, broke
-and threw to soldiers…

Commander stood there
-and two rows of soldiers
-one stood, one on knees
-all of them wore helmets
-guns were set and waited
-for order…

Landed piece of brick
-by soldier…
-he turned to commander:
- "They kill us…"

I was far…
Felt signals…

Suddenly around me
-I felt as in forest
-fell trees
-but men were bloodied…
-saw the bones
-gone flesh and the meet…

Therefore
- I Know well
- I know well
- I know well
What happens in Iran of today
- I Know well
- I know well
- I know well

Though had been observer
-in coup of CIA, MI6
-was too young to get that
-this too was seed, twig
-both planted, buried
-to grow as garden and
-become an ocean
-mountain chain

Therefore now
- I Know well
- I know well
- I know well
What happens in Iran of today
- I Know well
- I know well
- I know well

Saw people
-dead, alive
-carried on motorbikes
-and tricycles that
-were used to carry loads.

A young and sensitive
-rushed back home
-ideas in my mind

"Bicycle is not yours…
-return it to owner…
-be clean, innocent…
-before killed as
-martyr! ! ! "

Therefore
- I Know well
- I know well
- I know well
What happens in Iran of today
- I Know well
- I know well
- I know well

one who
-had young boy write letter
-that I had prepared
-then copied, took along
-and gave it to students
-to pass on to people to be read
- "We, Air-force personnel…"
-and was right yet, all wrong
- (since I wrote as I felt…
-had not been permitted…"
- I Know well
- I know well
- I know well
What happens in Iran of today
- I Know well
- I know well
- I know well
Therefore, you Donald Trump
-you the born and lead-Devil
-leave us alone, go to hell.

I know of the "Dad-Shah"
-yes, know of
-American Clara
-the hostage, killed
-in the south, Baluchistan
-by Arabs using hands of locals.

You are dumb
-as trained
-with ego
-and schools

None of you dig deep in
-the facts and see surface
-take a look at Cold-War
- "Russians come! "

You are of Cold-War time
-I am sure you recall
-the falsifier training
- "Lower head, go under the table;
-slide, curve, go to hide! "

And they were all but lies
-as you are, yes you are
-to the world of today

See yourself deep inside
-and poking a young man
-who leads, North Korea
-and comments on Russia;
-and sword dance, Arabia's
-and victim, as always, is Iran


And You are core and kernel
-of fires; you devil!

- I Know well
- I know well
- I know well
What happens in Iran of today
- I Know well
- I know well
- I know well

I have been for long time
-against sheikhs and mullahs
-and priests; in, outside politics

For too long have despised
-those like you, your copies
-ignorants, filthy rich…

But aware and concerned,
- I Know well
- I know well
- I know well
What happens in Iran of today
- I Know well
- I know well
- I know well
While you are unaware! ! !

You dream as have done the
-liars and stupid before you
-among them the one who
-blew horns, McCarthyism.

We were fooled and enough
-you better save your ass in hide-out
-go away, behind walls, go shut up.

Then when he, the "Joseph McCarthy"
-shouted and went preached
-held role of Protagonist
-while in fact Antagonist
-you played the role of monkey-kid

Funnily, now you want to be him! ! !

All wise-men and mothers
-all caring, males, females
-are tired and tired and tired
-of repeating same past
-of Cold War - HISTORY

We are all tired and fed up with
- "Red Scare"

They abused, brainwashed
-and it worked at the forties
-down the line to sixties and further
-for a part I was in USA; student.

Everyone was afraid of a ghost
-an unseen and unknown kind of wolf
-or maybe vampire, or sort of a werewolf.

Shamefully the US students
-knew not but Moscow
-outside the USA.

And I laughed!
And I laughed!
And I laughed!

When I found my Judy
-whom I loved, and I will
-and for her and her sake
-will live the USA
-but of course, without you.

Because then, even then
-I knew and know well
- I Know well
- I know well
- I know well
What happens in Iran of today
- I Know well
- I know well
- I know well
-about world around us.

Kept silent on subjects that sounded
-strange
-among them my mother's grandpa.

His name as I heard and was given
-to my last, best uncle
-was Reza.

My mother, a deeply religious
-daughter of prophet; fanatic
-who carried DNA of Zahra and Ali
-stood there proudly
-by wall that partridge was captured
-by Reza, in daylight
-and without resistance or effort:
- "He was the man of God;
-and had own miracles…! ! ! "

Among them as she said
-was the bird
- "God had sent! "

"Oh, mother. My dear, "
- I had meant to object
-but didn't! ! !
-Simply to respect.

Both she and USA
-her words and Judy's way
-both of them, love, kindness
-led me to keep in touch
-with the needs of Iran.

Yes, I know much, much too much
- I Know well
- I know well
- I know well
What happens in Iran of today
- I Know well
- I know well
- I know well
-and you are dumb, blind; barking lot.

I read, read and researched
-went around, travelled
-saw poor and powerless
-observed rich and their ways
-in times as, a liaison officer
-ordered, ruled, demanded
-the men and the actions
-as well as wants, required
-in Matrah of Oman
-and Amman of Jordan
-needed and required
-by my job in Air Force.

I flew flights that
-were in depth CIA's
-and for the Pentagon,
-White House and, Washington.
Therefore, I am aware
-yes, I know much, much too much
- I Know well
- I know well
- I know well
What happens in Iran of today
- I Know well
- I know well
- I know well
-and you are dumb, blind; barking lot.

I know you inside out.
-I know you head to toe.
-I know you and your games.
-I know you well-enough
-not be fooled or fall
-for the lies and the barks
-not even snores, yawns.

This is how I see you
-deeply to every cell
-of blood, Red and White
-to marrow of the bone
-and the core of the nerve

Sure, you are.
Sure, you are.
Sure, you are.

Knowing you, am aware
-yes, I know much, much too much
- I Know well
- I know well
- I know well
What happens in Iran of today
- I Know well
- I know well
- I know well
-and you are dumb, blind; barking lot.

You are a scarecrow
-filled with the straws
-senseless and form of man
-wearing hat and jacket
-army-like are bouttons

Frightening is way of
-the liars, and bullies-brutal.
-And that is what you are
-yes, shameless Donald Trump.

Sure, you are.
Sure, you are.
Sure, you are.

You are true Mr Grinch!
Donald Trump is Grinch!

You are not copy but
-original Mr. Grinch!

You plan and disguise
-you sew suit of Santa Claus
-you use and abuse
-the poor and scared dog
-communism is weak and
-colourless, "Red Scare"

But you are sick
-devil
-in your heart and
-your feet with your shoes
-and States that you run

All in all!
All in all!
All in all!

You are a
-nothing but
-clayiest form of
- "Hate"
-cooked and shaped
-hate, hate, hate
-I hate you, cause of hate…
-and must hate to the end.

Thanks to the USA, America
-I learned what, who shah was.

He and King Hussein of Jordan
-two friends and well-tied
-were as are sheikhs and kings
-in Dubai, Saudi
-they were dogs and llamas
-and so are inside now, Emirates
-and Riyadth
-of today
-as well as followers
-who voted in UN
-with a "Yes"
-to plan of changing capital
-which Nikki threatened:
- "We will watch! "
-the bullies are bastard
-and your way proves that
- "You are one…"
-and are those in your gang…

All in all!
All in all!
All in all!

I became a column
-to kick ass of the shah

Then came in the mullahs
-I learned lot, of Iran
-since this was
-and was not
-what people asked for
-want…

I became immigrant
-displace and exiled
-after years behind bars
-with tortures, loss of mind
-and losing best of life…

Knowing these I know you
-yes, I know much too much
- I Know well
- I know well
- I know well
What happens in Iran of today
- I Know well
- I know well
- I know well
-and you are dumb, blind; bark a lot.

You are a nothing
-but
-a carving on the rock
-form of "Hate"
-you are a repeated
-design, shape
-of
-hate, hate,
-and hate, hate
-I hate you since you are
-the core and cause of hate…
-and I must
-must hate you to the end.

Nor more I,
-Donald Trump
-fall for lies of abroad
-since people of Iran
-must solve their problems
-among them
-with love and
-quarrels
-must accept their facts
-and they must learn of
-needs, wants…

Among them
-by themselves
-not by you or
-bastards in Bahrain.
-in Dubai or Riyadh
-or even in Moscow or devil brutal
-in what is called: "White House".
