Juice Sucked Poem by Nassy Fesharaki

Juice sucked

'Oh no! '
-said I
-reading of Noriega
-'He died…'

Once again the history
-orphaned on the run
-from a boarding school
-froze in the cold
-is buried in snow, glacier

History is written by
-cruel liars
-why?

'Noriega developed
-close ties with U.S.
-intelligence agencies.'
-reads the news…
-'And Bin Laden? '
-I ask…'the same! '

'And both? '
-I wonder…
-and know…

'Were left high, dry…'
-half way!

They remind me of
-an orange…
-no…
-a pomegranate
-juice sucked

'Hey carpet makers of Esfahan…'
-I want to shout and call:
-'…come take the trashed, the skin…'
-I have experience and know
-'…obtain best colours…'
