Jaguar Poem by Nassy Fesharaki

Jaguar

Thanks to road
-saw them both
-one on bench
-one rested in castle

Her life was all in cart
-she kept it, in front
-triggered my mind, thoughts
-about us and our lives
-a simple question ran:
- "What goes on in her mind? "

The guy in the castle was mid-aged,
-came to door with "Salam"
-said hello in Farsi
-this is how he shocked me
-I wondered if I should
-take him as a friend,
-or smart-face-reader

Soon found out
- "I shall not…"
-he was a money bag
-no heart, nor brain, sag

Juxtaposed what witnessed…

Rich man was unaware!
-what about poor lady?
-I assumed, possibly
-a learned, an expert
-penniless…

Came flood of questions
-on "right", "wrong"
-on what "is" and
- "What must? "

Conclusion simple
- "In truth, in real,
-the life is brutal…"

"Since wealthy is busy
-gathering the money
-has no time to spend
-on brain, hearty things! "

"Brainless if they are
-how do they, day and night,
-add to wealth and amount? "

"With figures occupied,
-for the rest have no time…
-and that is name of game!
-what a shame! ! ! "

Came to mind the pig that
-sets fire world-around
-has power in White House.

How did he get this wealth?
-except by raising hell?

Flew thoughts into time
-found correct the phrase:
- "Smallness of the eyes
-of huge elephant
-reveals fact of the rich
-being the needier…"

Cart woman must think of
-how shameless, ignorant
-easily get ride on jaguar …
- (saw cars of castle-man!)

In her mind jaguar
-is a nice animal
-its muscles strong
-and ears too small
-with fangs, teeth
-and the jaw of steel
-pitch black and great
-not metal and silver
-as was car of rich man…
