My Colleague Poem by Nassy Fesharaki

My colleague

I talked with a friend,
Ex-colleague,
A Shiite, Lebanese…

"Peace and health,
Is our need…"
He told me.

Nothing more,
That was it…

Nothing more,
That was it…

Nothing more,
That was it…

He said less,
I got more…

"US Bombed…"
I could read:
'Christians,
Not Muslims,
Murdered
Jews,
As killers,
Betrayers…'

Helplessly,
Complained:
"Injustice,
Injustice,
Injustice! "

"The rulers…"
Guess I heard:
"Did wrong then,
And again,
Do the same! "
