Referee Poem by Nassy Fesharaki

Referee



Referee

Once played in movie
In role of referee.

Two boxers, like the rams
Went and came to give jabs.

Blood ran on faces
Of either of boxers.

Now I am invited
Once again, to play
The role of referee.

But this time for two words,
Complainer is "Like"
Against the word of "Love! "

Like says is victimised,
Is in pain, traumatised:
"It is thief, invader,
Burglar and looter."

Laughter fills inside me
When open dictionary.

Read both of etymologies
See they are two cousins
But
"Like" is little, mild,
"Love" fights to last drop:
"Am with you, dead, alive! "

"Like" says:
"Mine are food and dress
But LOVE is for parents,
Partners, children…"

While watching the TV,
See girl loves ice-cream.

I vote for the word "Like."
