Wonder Poem by Nassy Fesharaki

Wonder

You?
Annoyed, angry, in despair?
You?
Sit and complain, talk of death?

Questions come!
Easy is to see their wonder!

I,
Hear them,
Read faces and stare,
Remain a prairie,
Sand desert,
A mountain,
And or cave!

They see hair on my chest
May sense ribs and smiles
But never feel my heart; poor brain!

In return, boil in me my questions:
-do you know genocide and murder?
-who gave hand to Hitler?
-Chaco-war, and Agra's?
-do you know homelessness, on the run?
-do you get racism and insults?
-what about being raped, and then killed?
-and then burned, shoved with sword?

I am sea and ocean, hurricane!

They don't know
They don't see
They don't care

In blinds they go round, rounds go on
Seeking job and shelter; food, income!

What is there to ask for but sky?
My poor soul, you need rest,
Find a way to fly; a liftoff!
