WAR ON TERROR OR WRITE A POEM
“War on Terror” is
The topic of the time
A highly demanded good
In the market of world politics
Where a handful rules
And defined and defended it as
Politics of people’s democracy
In addition to various offerings
To the ritual of
The people’s democracy
Of the Market politics
Hundreds and thousands of
Poorest of the poor innocents
Offer their valueless lives
In order to celebrate
The free world of liberalism
Of the Market Giants
It’s good or bad
Raising issues and questions
Towards the Kings of Market Politics
To define terrorism first
And discover
The roots of cause next
Before waged a “War on Terrorism”
Not an act of intelligent practice
Asking questions
And raising issues towards King Nero
Meant for King Oedipus
Will only bring fear and pathos
It’s the essence of tragedy
Just write a poem
For cathartic purposes
