No, Never! Poem by Nassy Fesharaki

No, never!

They want me to join them:
"Be one of our members."

I didn't say a word,
In silence, with motion
Said: "Never, not, ever! "

Die for wealth or power?
Live lavish, and spend?
For inside underwear?

"No, no, no, not ever! "
"No, no, no, not ever! "
"No, no, no, not ever! "

As the child of mountains,
And kidnapped on oceans,
Went through large flames,
From toes to the head…

Saw fire everywhere,
All over, each corner!

"So, never, not ever! "
"So, never, not ever! "
"So, never, not ever! "

No, cannot, will not sell,
The warm heart, a blessed,
For mankind, with kindness.

"No, no, no, not ever! "
"No, no, no, not ever! "
"No, no, no, not ever! "

Can't join you for power,
And not for wealth's sake.

"No, no, no, not ever! "
"No, no, no, not ever! "
"No, no, no, not ever! "

Let me be and remain,
Poor rebel, for justice.
