Paper Poem by Nassy Fesharaki

Paper

Like water in river
-pristine its current
-ideas came and went
-thanks to what I observed
-and the things that happened
-when forced to the dungeon
-after was arrested

I needed pen, paper
-to carve the treasures
-on the rocks to keep them
-in some way, writing them

Injustice had happened
In the name of justice

Injustice had happened
In the name of justice

Injustice had happened
In the name of justice

United, hand in hand with corrupts
-police and the mullahs, guardians
-with nephew of the then president
-were vultures, hyenas on a corpse

Which was me, the victim!
-and had to live, survive
-not because of the life
-but to make it outside
-then write, shout:

"They're corrupt."
"They're corrupt."
"They're corrupt."

"With corrupt we must fight."
"With corrupt we must fight."
"With corrupt we must fight."
