Villager Poem by Nassy Fesharaki

Villager

Feel showered with questions.

Why man killed in Vet-home?
Why killings in schools?
Why Yemen, Syria in flood of blood?
Why arms, oil, poor nations?
What is word of Kim Jong?
Why winning film was at first refused?

Who is right?
Who is wrong?

What is this?
Where are we?

Mountains are made of rocks
-they speak in own tongue
-are patient, friendly
-not many can hear and or see!

I was born near rocks
-with them I, have had talks.

Through them I spoke
-with unseen old aunty
-whom we called;
-she replied!

"Is echo, "
-some told me.

Such people laughed at me
-as if, I am loony!

And maybe
-yes maybe
-I can be
Crazy!
Crazy!
Crazy!

And that is
-why I write
-lots of words
-lots of junks!

The best man among us
-is the one who cuts off
-the power, wish and lust
-turns Dervish or Sophie!

The one who rejects want
-has power and can talk
-so did the Socrates
-and the Shams of Tabriz.

Everyone is convinced
-they speak with logic

Powerful!
Powerful!
Powerful!

On my way to the fields
-used to sit and could see
-the insects and the birds
-walk, crawl, and climb
-in the shades and on sides.

I stopped and spoke with lizards
-they sat there motionless
-praised and looked at sun
-steady their stares
-fixed their eyes, sides and legs
-filled with life beat their hearts.

Light beige was their skin
-wrinkly, exposed, seen
-with throbs of heartbeats…

"Hey friends of old days
-for long time have not met;
-do you too miss those days? "

I shouted with deep joy
-as does bear; not the toy.

Mountainside was school
-plenty were teachers
-in sky and plains,
-atmosphere…

I was, am
-and remain

Villager

I, as child of nature,
-grandchild of nature,
-both master and slave,
-have one aim; freedom.

So was born, will remain
-forever and ever and ever.

Therefore, have no fear!

Hey people of power
Hey wealthy grandeurs
Hey, the wrong who claim:
"Righteousness, Righteousness."

Governors
Governments
(Inside the cubicles,)
(Penthouses, Offices,)
(Or in the palaces…)

All of you are worthless
-like a hey in the air
-like a cork on the wave!

Honest am, intimate
-and frank, straight.

All of you are worthless!
All of you are worthless!
All of you are worthless!

You deserve my respect
-only if you can shed
-sheep skin from wolf
-and distance and divorce
-the lies to pretend.

Only when are honest!
Only when are honest!
Only when are honest!

Only when human!
Only when human!
Only when human!

Yes, yes, yes…

Only then!
Only then!
Only then!

Indigenous is ignored
Poor artist is ignored
Innocent is ignored
Hungry is ignored

How can we be friends?

Rock taught me to resist
Rock told me: "Be solid"

"The solid has no need;
-and that is what God is."

"Be the God to yourself! "
"Become guide to others."

Rock…
Rock…
Rock…

Being rock, I am God, in its depth
-do not like to respect governments
-neither like any of governors
-they are dirt's particles
-am free of such filth
-do not care!

Governors, governments,
-you deserve life in hell!
-all of you are worthless!

The best seen among you
-is your dead!

The best one at the time
-is the young crazy one,
-murderer and selfish
-who rules North Korea.

Possibly brainless
-possibly a kicked ball
-whatever he may be
-regardless who can be
-he forced the Donald Trump
-to kneel and bow and seek
-forgiveness and mercy.

All of us recall the rhetoric!
-between the two insane!
-each known as president…
-one close to China
-another in States.

The latter filthy rich
-direct and indirect
-he is thief
-prior
-devil and sneaky…

Have no doubt
-both of them egoist.

Turn pages
-remember the claim:
"I can push knob and kill! "
"I can do the same thing! "

The two are gamblers
-their game is like poker
-their chips are
-the lives of innocent!

The bank is on table
-one bluffs and other:
- "I read you and raise it! "

In corner and annoyed
-I stand and observe
-the dirty funny game.

See Yemen
-Syria, Rwanda
-to Tukey and Iran

Everywhere…
Everywhere…

Blood is scattered
-in the shades of the red
-from pink to maroon
-crimson, violet…

Governors, governments,
-you deserve life in hell!
-all of you are worthless!

The best seen among you
-is your dead!

Being rock, am the God of myself
-do not like to respect governments
-neither like any of governors.
-They are dirt's particles
-am free of such filth
-do not care!
