Nothing Can Save You! Poem by fraidoon warasta

‘ nothing can save you!
but money
and political influence.'
she said.

i grinned
at my superficial assumptions,
human conditions and
the possibilities of
being ignorant

i knocked at
the mirror of forest
entered while god
was still slumbering
tranquilly,
a baby was playing
with time

while the big boys crumpling
the perspectives of sparrows,
everyone was escaping from freedom,
i was about to meet.
