Shabdiz Poem by Nassy Fesharaki

Shabdiz

They tell me:
- "Live in now,
-leave the past."

Guess, I can't!

I cannot ignore that
- "Shab" as word
-to Arabs means "Young" and
-it is "Night" to Persians.

I cannot forget what
-it means when joins word "Diz"
-I see, find in Farsi: "The Black Beauty! "

Shabdiz is: "Black, dark"
Shabdiz is: "The dark-like"
Shabdiz is: "Dark of night"

In "Shabdiz" we face the beauty
-as seen in diamond, when black!
- (The pure and solid, an opaque!)

In "Shabdiz" there is the beauty
-as it is in Swan, when black
- (all over, wings, feathers!)

In "Shabdiz" there is the beauty
-of Qir-At, in Turkish
- (Kor-Oghloo's fable horse.)

Damn Thomas Edison
-he killed nights
-he brought light to night.

Let's call him founder of the pubs, bars,
-and "Tease dance", casinos and discos.

I enjoy nice dreams
-if find them sunken in
-the darkest parts of nights!

One of such is death of
- Emmett Till.

Though today, we call it:
- "A shameful murder act, "
-it was norm yesterday…

Open eye and see them
-see the "why" of unrest
-civil war all over USA
-and the Moors
-in around neighborhood
-of Island, the Caribs!

Have guts and dive deeper
-lift the lid of the shame
-history is hidden
-it is sealed in thick chests.
- (White-Black-Relations
-is graved and welded.)

We are forced to see masks
-in today's videos viral tasks
-the fact-games are erased
-the traps and the guns, deleted;
-removed are ordering greyhounds:
- "Go and fetch the hunted…"

In "Shabdiz" we face the beauty
-as seen in diamond, when black!
- (The pure and solid, an opaque!)

In "Shabdiz" there is the beauty
-as it is in Swan, when black
- (all over, wings, feathers!)

Separating Parents-Children
-has been, is the work of Slavers
-look at the Africans when blamed:
- "He whistled to passing white woman! "
-Lift the lid, read life of "Emmett Till"
-and Pushkin, Father to "New Russian Language! "
