Justified Poem by Nassy Fesharaki

Justified

In a cage, perched a bird,
Close by, lurked a jackal,
Walked and ran, sniffed air,
A hunter searched for prey.

The wise bird knew well,
Watched ‘The Sly's Affair, '
Approaching camouflaged,
Peaceful guise, telling lies.

'Friendship's not our fate,
You showed your intentions,
Leave, go far, don't pretend,
What is your game here? "

'Let us be two friends,
Freedom, you can gain,
Fly high, ' said the jackal:
"Open wings in the sky.'

'Help or harm, can't be sure,
Your motives, I've endured,
Preyed on, we have been,
Yet, know of your deceit.'

'Past is past…' sighed Jackal:
"Unity is the path to success,
Let's unite and follow Manifest,
Walk with Che, Marx, Engels.'

'No, ' replied, the proud bird:
'You go and join foxes,
Dine and wine off corpses,
I avoid your kind of freedom! "
