Theft Poem by Nassy Fesharaki

Theft

Here, we
All are thieves
Hide and lie, and steal.

Each of us finds a way to match, fit…

Labour takes from time of the work and shrinks
Paymaster finds a way, to delay the payments
And builder wastes and wastes everything
The board, pipe, screws and glue, cannot count…

I joined them and observed
Cheated them with my boots;
They were not safety!
I cannot afford them in these days
Food to eat is rare in my plate and fridge
That is why I am cheap, low ranking.

Learned a lot
Much about Brazil, Portugal.
But still…

I suffered very much from the happening on the scene
They waste and waste-waste while cheating
Building house and houses carelessly
With no base…

Now I see the burst of water pipes
Now I know of the mould in basements!

Dangerous is abuse
Dangerous, theft, steal
Dangerous…dangerous…

Inexpert sits at top
Employs the-pay-less
Tit for tat brings cheat,
And steal, everyday
Everyone in own way…
Whatever…in a way…
