Jokes Poem by Nassy Fesharaki

Jokes

Many jokes are smoke
From the gun's muzzle
Right after the bullet
Departs with trigger
And crime takes place.

One of such is murder
Khashoggi's, consulate's…

Some say it right in face
Others, joke the justice
Of Saudi Prince…MBS.

Not always jokes mean joke
This joke is too shameless:
"Five men are beheaded!
They have been guilty of…! "

To see that, let's look back
To one joke on judgement
Of an old Afghan Sheikh.

From long, long ago
Baby-face was insult
In the land of afghans
But still, most warlords
Had one for lonely nights.

Once, is said one of the
Warlords had decided
To marry boyfriend.

So, he sent for old sheikh
To come and connect them.

Sheikh found it strange:
"I am the man of faith
And Islam rejects this."

Sheikh was killed at the door;
Warlord sought some mullah.

New sheikh saw dead corpse
Right upon arrival and questioned:
"Why is he breathless? "

The reply was fast and straight:
"He opposed marriage of same sex! "

To save life, latter sheikh,
Had to search for a way:
"Poor old sheikh has been wrong;
Since he lacked knowledge of
The God's words in Koran;
He approves marriage…! "

Sheikh murmured few words
Warlord paid him rewards…

In this joke lies meaning:
"Fear rules; believe me."

Using whip and gun's rules
Power rules and makes rules
To further corruption of cruel.

Forbidden turns Halal
And murder becomes law!

As sun shines in the day
Everyone knows it well
MBS gave order:
"Go silence this devil;
Bring him regardless
If alive, or if dead! "

Now, killed are messengers
By a judge like that sheikh
That saw colleague murdered.

These judgements by verses
Of Koran as guidance
To allow marriage…or murder
Are nothing except for corruption.

Yet, from other side
When looking deep inside
The circle of Trump
And friends of White House
This is what we expect
From thieves and liars:
"Shed blood with fear and threat! "
