Why Women? Poem by Nassy Fesharaki

Why women?

Imagine being there
-spring caught by weight
-robber ball squeezed by timber
-a balloon is filled with helium

Suddenly weight is gone
-timber moved and ball falls
-someone puts needle, balloon bursts

Close eyes…
See a world
All is wild
All is mess

You can be the target
-though you are innocent
-none of them criminal

This is called
-reaction
-to
-action

Pressure
Pressure
Pressure

On depressed
-among them
-girls, women

Has brought
Wilderness
Wilderness
Wilderness
