Local News Poem by Nassy Fesharaki

Local news

Young Sheikh died
Sportsman and sexy; admired
Three days holiday in Dubai

But local is news
The world is going on.

As revolve sun and moon on orbit.

I recall the old days and comments
Syrian: “king, sultan and prince…”
Angry the young man insulted his ruler:
“Child of dog is a dog, so are the sheikhs’, sultans’…”

Forced to choose refuge, he went on:
“With Puppy being dog time has come for his son...”

He spoke of Hafez and Basshar.
