Nanking Poem by Nassy Fesharaki

Nanking

Long ago, I read book
-thanks to our group that
-meant discuss its content
-and author, Iris Chang,
-angered girl, seeing the
-Japanese as cruel and
-Chinese brutal!

Prior loots and rapes, massacre
-breaks bones of the girls, the latter.

Today this work's magic
-takes me to Bush-logic,
-action of the Yankees
- (to Afghans, Iraqis)
- "Get them boys…
-destroy everything! "

Japanese raped and then
-stood there took pictures
-with victims; swords in their…
-Same happened in Bagram, Abu Ghraib!

I, always, hold horses in judgement
-neither I grant "Yes", nor reject…
-stay calm, keep patience…

Gallop can take horse far
-may also cause the fall,
-and death of the rider
-under hoofs of horses!

History, if seen well
-can teach us deep lessons.

Why not look at the Pope?
-at Shamans and mullahs?

See them when having keys,
-and when riding donkeys
-If powered, Brutal! If not, kind!

One can see all of these
-in poem, short and rich:
- "You are man (Human)
-if remain kind, proud,
-when needs mount;
-and do not end drunk
-if you have world in palm."

Today's Pope and mullahs
-as well as Donald Trump
-reveal that none of them
-has been, is, valued man!

The first has no power, speaks soft.
-Mullah exchanged donkey, in Mercedes
-…and of course, last is rich, too drunk!

All of them are copies; don't differ
-crusaders, invaders and looters
-of nomad, with crown, Genghis Khan!

Japanese in Nanking were Yankees
-of today, world around…
- (Secret Cells, rape and burn, piss on the…
-Shackle, chain, put in cage…Guantanamo,
-Abu Ghraib and Bagram…)

I guess I am close to join the
-author of that research;
- (Iris Chang's Nanking's Rape)
- (The book is now abused; read for sex
-between girls…ignored is innocence…)

I cannot take no more
-shame is life in this world;
-man is shame!
-woman shame!
-greed shame!
-looting shame!
-power shame!
-drone shame!
-rape is shame!
