Thunder And Storm Poem by Nassy Fesharaki

Thunder and storm

Oh, my lord
-have too much on plate
-time is short
-must talk and
-must shout and
-all of it,
-before death.

Must shout for love and care
-and against
-corruption,
-injustice
-equal
-and reverse

Must become George Orwell
-go to fight
-be wounded
-see the facts
-face to face
-in Spain
-and elsewhere

Must go fight
-see Fascists
-open mind
-close books
-fill ears with cotton
-be a deaf in palace

Eyes must see
-Stalin
-Moscow's facts
-then at home,
-resign and sit back to,
-write and write

Want to be a Rumi
-have people write for me
-what inside is compiled
-and amassed, turned to pain

Must confess: "Thought I was a knower
-till came Shams and taught me true way."

Where is Shams?
- (That great man who rayed
-as sun does sun in forest…)

Write and say are my must
-as thunder, very loud

Want to be a Harvey
-destroy Oil-State of Texas…
- (as warning to States:
- "brutal, open eye …,
-life is short…
-life s short…
-life is short…

For the sake of your child…
-don't steal…
-don't bully…
-doing so adds to need…
-of the mass…
-mass will rise…
-gun in hand they make bomb…
-drive vans, cars, trucks…
-into lines to kill us
-kill us all…
-one of them can be child…
-your own child whom you say:
- ‘Is my love, ' among them.
-that can be a lesson; don't butcher
- (butchering your own child
-by doing injustice,
-stealing everywhere
-in hotels, palaces, casinos
-to Moscow,
-Birmingham,
-Kenya
-Manhattan…
-to Baghdad and Kabul
-anywhere; to Tehran…! ! !)
