Mass Graves Poem by Nassy Fesharaki

Mass graves

In the time of COVID
We hear that buried
Are many, together.

Mass graves!
Mass graves!
Mass graves!

He, along with friends
Are, all, in one grave.

Mass graves!
Mass graves!
Mass graves!

But he was a fighter
Against the government.

Mass graves!
Mass graves!
Mass graves!

While turning the pages
Aiming for the reason,
Found many similar.

Mass graves!
Mass graves!
Mass graves!

Reading of New York
And graves in Iran…

Mass graves!
Mass graves!
Mass graves!

Took a ride, travelled
Passed many of borders
Encountered mass graves
Of the past, present.
