Only Way Poem by Nassy Fesharaki

Only way

Heard that he,
-the lying golden hair
-will have the microphone
-to add to the nonsense…

Cockroaches are not birds
-walk, crawl; as wingless
-though have it on corpses!

Sparrow teaches chick
- "Come to edge, open wings,
-spread and flap…"

Then, the air and the wind
-do their work with jumping…

But cockroach?

On the boiling kettle
-hurried one, could not rest
-the end seemed obvious;
-made mind and became bird.

Some have died in this way
-some have jumped to success.

This is risk and must take!
This is risk and must take!
This is risk and must take!

He who will declare war
-must expect dagger, bomb.

Listen to Abuzar (Ghaffari) :
- "Sword cannot kiss the sheath;
-when the life is turned hellish."

If in cage, hungry, enslaved…
-be Pirooz, the prince of Persians…
-pull dagger, stab the Caliphate…
-jump toward "My death or freedom…".
