Oracle Poem by Nassy Fesharaki

Oracle

Is Sunday and a day in month of Ramadhan
-love fasting; have skipped for some time
-think to walk to a church and pray
-not yet done, not even clothes on, change, deter
-I recall when I used to join them
-we gathered and prayed with them I shed tears
-felt comfort and dear till received that cassette
-I listened to contents; fearful was scared
-disregard right or wrong, fed with hate
-said goodbye to houses that claim
-"Home to God…"
-they shelter the devil…

How can house be of God?
-the maker and founder
-creator and father,
-to us all
-man, woman, white, black
-and even animals
-but plant and grow what is known as evil
-where must teach: "Only love, "

I rather staying home with wine
-not even one person since mankind
-is the source of evil

I read of the bombings and killings
-in France and London and Kabul
-to Iraq and Yemen, etcetera
-and the lies and looting, and power
-making arms to selling and buying
-seek the cause and find it false and fault
-or the act of devil

And who is the builder and owner
-and dealer and ruler?
-nothing and nobody but mankind
-and headed by the oil-rich Sultans
-and Europe and States
-and others scattered here, there
-Kremlin to Tehran…hate them all…
