True But Poem by Nassy Fesharaki

True but

I read of Syria
-Syria, Syria, Syria
-and the Assad's tactic
-of the 'siege and starve'!

Cannot sit idle so I comment:
- "Embarrassing, truly is a shame,
-but Yemen, Guantanamo are the same...
-why forced to see one side…? "

I belong to that part
-my mentors come from
-Syria, Lebanon, and the lands
-as well as the deserts or mountains
-now bordered, divided as "Others! ! ! "

"No! No! No! "
-I tell them:
- "We are one! "

My blood, every cell
-in my bones, flesh, nerves
-shout out-loud: "We are one! "

"We are one! "
"We are one! "
"We are one! "

I call on the France,
-Britain and Russia:
- "Damn you all with borders
-that you made, so shove them! "

I declare: "Am ready to give life…"
-to prove "We are one! "

Kill me and crucify
-I stand and give life:
- "We, Greeks and Persians
-to Arabs of Yemen, Palestine
-to the Jews, to Pashto or Afghans,
-to Baluch, Kurd and Turk, all along

"We are one! "
"We are one! "
"We are one! "

Yes, one with our neighbours
-in our north and our west
-Armenians, Georgians, Assyrians.

Therefore, we, united
-must come out, shout loudest
-on Russia and France, Britain:
- "Damn you and your borders
- (cages made,)go shove them! "

I plea to become a bridge
-to delete divisions
- "Let's become one unit."

The hell with fox, vulture
The hell with the Jackals
The hell with sheep skin
(when worn to misbehave!)

The hell with the White House
The hell with Kremlin
The hell with the Paris
(when being with those above!)

The hell with the church and
The hell with the mosque and
The hell with all cloaks
(when covered with blinds…)

The hell with wall-builders
The hell with arms-makers
The hell with the dealers
(when walking on corpses!)

"We are one! "
"We are one! "
"We are one! "
