Rover Died Poem by Nassy Fesharaki

Rover died

News has just come in
-of the man-made machine
- (possibly an angel or devil
-that landed on the Mars) :
- "Rover died…"

Was child when mother said:
- "Nobody and ever…"
-then went on:
- "Can never enslave
-your dreams and brain."

Right she was…

In the room
-entrapped I am with
-walls being all around,
-beneath roof, on floor.

But my thoughts
-mingle and engage with
-residents of the Mars.

Hear them complain
-from man of the Earth
-that claims and claims:
- "Man is best! "

"Are you not embarrassed? "
"Do you not feel ashamed? "

They tell me with frown
-pointing at Rover:
- "Your Mom is in deathbed;
-Poor Great, Giving Earth,
-now you want to kill us? "

My thoughts race in silence,
-get goosebumps and shiver
-when questions fill the air;
-on their ends stand hair! ! !
