Venom Poem by Nassy Fesharaki

Venom



Venom

Question is a sword
Hung over the shah's head
"Death is constant daily threat! "

My sword is full of venom
Tongue is defaced by conqueror.

Sword is what Shah Abbas said
A reminder to seeker of power.

Want to march?

"On which carpet? "
"Whose blood? "
"And colour? "

Mine?

You are late
I no more fear the chain!
My blood is thin colourless!

Warning:
"My sword is venomous! "
