Sterilised Poem by Nassy Fesharaki

Empire to fall

Time has come!

You must and
You will fall
You must and
You will fall
You must and
You will fall

I once had empire
You call it "Persia".

Be aware you are wrong
You followed Herodotus
He did not cover all
Just talked of Capital.

Find yourself in Bible
The blind
You followed another
Read to see what happens.

I know of empires
They came and evaded
Each brought bloodshed
Some worse and some better.

Their and our relations
Times at top, times under.

Empires came and left
Now I see is your turn.

All they did you have done
Except for being gone.

Your inside is swamp
Rumi's fish, rotten-head
I do not reach for gun
No, never need to fight
You stink and will burst…
