Next King Poem by Nassy Fesharaki

Next king

Though is not enemy
-don't want him as friend
-rest assured…not…ever…

I recall after my accident
-overnight, was detained
-Naif was fortress, in Dubai
-met a sheikh, son of sheikh

His father was leader
-as he said, "…of Dubai…"
-ran over by Rashid…
-he and his siblings
- (as he said)
-'...were ignored, abandoned
-and detained thanks to our own uncle! "

So he was a rebel and detained
- (for wanting what wants heir…)
He grew his hair long, uncombed wild

His words were like that of
-black bird in Chaco
-sang, cried its heart out in the songs

Now I see exact same take place
-this time in Riyadh of Saudi
-removal of prince
-replacing a cousin

I was born nearby
-travelled all around
-can feel in its depths

Bomb blast nay soon come
-of pot of boiling hate …

None of them enemy
-nor friend is to me…

I distance from ego and greed
