The Midnight Oil Poem by Nassy Fesharaki

The Midnight Oil

I came home at midnight
-cockroaches all around
-on floor and each wall
-to them I, invader
-they behaved strange
-were dizzy, confused
-lost sense of direction

I looked at myself and
-the times when GPS
-dies and goes suddenly
-possibly signal or battery

Also thought of the wars
-invasions without calls
-mean ambush by powers
-armaments always change

Ancestors of my dad
-did the same when Arabs
-came and killed and looted
-raped and took as slaves…
-my people's sin, simple:
- "INFIDEL"

Did not the Persians and the Greeks
-the Romans, Japanese and Chinese
-Indians all over, to Genghis;
-all mankind, do the same?

What about Abraham?
- (if true and a fact! ! !)
-did he not earn money?
- (from her exposing! ! !)
-did he not enforce on…
-Canaanites (or their kinds) ?

Isn't night for sleep?
Why do I sit and think?
Life has been, is, will be
-cruelty, cruelty, cruelty!
