Yemen Poem by Nassy Fesharaki

Yemen

To many, Yemen is
A court for a war which
Iran fights Saudi
Kill people to compete.

Different is for me;
I know her history.

Yemen is very old
Some claim: "Old is gold."

In this case, I agree…

Those who know Shahnameh
Have read of Fereydoun.

He fought the cruel king
Got throne, crown, lead;
Led people to love, peace.

In Yemen ruler was
Father of three girls.

Fereydoun sent message:
"I seek your Majesty's
Blessing and permit
To let our Royals be
Married permanently."

Since he had three sons.

So, Yemen and Iran
Go very deep in time.

Then in the Seventies
I flew and carried
Food, soldiers, logistic
For the part of Yemen
That took side with devil
Of the West, USA,
That had us brainwashed.

These killings of locals
By the hands of locals
Is flared by demons
Regardless of Tehran
UAE…or Amman…

Main lead is devil called:
"Infamous USA! "

In sleeves of Riyadh
Or legs of Israel…

So, enough is enough!

Not many learned lesson
From Nine-Eleven…

Media played what
Dictated the White House:
"Terrorist Bin Laden! "

His veins were Yemeni
But fed, raised, Saudi
Documents of latter.

For years in Pakistan
Fought along the Afghans
Thanks to the Pentagon,
CIA's officers…

Gorbachev changed the map;
First lamb was Bin Laden.
His passport was removed
Flagless was on move
Till became a rebel!

A werewolf, Volcano
He opened claws, mouth
For blood, hot lava!

"Will" is not the question
"When" will the other come?
