Next King 2 Poem by Nassy Fesharaki

Next king 2

I knew very well
-when I wrote my 'Next King'
-was born there, studied
-got involved, taught to read
-and I read, gently
-into minds and brains
-too deep in the cultures
-of Arabs over there

I said of a prince
-behind bars in Naif
-he was sheikh in Dubai
-confined in fortress,

I could and can see the future
-for rulers in Riyadh

Now news
-Guardian, Telegraph
-also the New York Times
-report what I said then…

Hey Mr. President
-the devil sword dancer
-blind by selfishness, unaware

Wow…must stop and repent
-wash my tongue
-in the Nile and Ganga's mass water
-I spelled dirty name
-of a dumb, elected by the dumb,
-should have not…
-let them be and remain
-malaria's mosquitoes and or tick

Ha-ha-ha I snap
-sing and dance
-the deposed prince is
-now confined in palace
-after coup am waiting
-red carpet of blood
-I wait to celebrate; it shall come
