Where did we fall that? We could not rise again? Where did we fall that we could not rise again? When we lost ourselves and became followers When they prescribed their bitter impositions We swallowed as remedial poisonous medicine Where were we lost and never were founded Where the persuasive power dehumanized Demoralized desensitized and intoxicated our brains Never sobered never recuperated but sedated We were irresponsible negligent and senseless Unintelligibility unconsciousness were the process On a read to ultimate stagnation of thought To the obedient drives and to the obscure destination Now living is a vehicle of preconceived tasks We do not reveal as ourselves wearing their masks M. K. Sadigh I saw and heard I saw and heard At the depth of emptiness No horizon no sky A herd
of ants Crawling out of a dead tree I saw and heard their marching Competing
with the wind Carrying life preservation I saw them
living M. K. Sadigh I have them witnessed I have them witnessed My hands my legs my face From
what I missed The vast empty land awaiting For my search How could be found Out of these confined pales Embedded in
embraced silence Rejected confused and lost I knew I was
born waiting Asked my eyes they denied me M. K. Sadigh A house as big as my desires A house as big as my desires But empty as my loneliness Empty
of love empty of zest On the doorway there is no way To the open sky Where I seek my
lost star In a dark night With
fear and fright Surrounded no compassion I declared no
one listened Words
spook on my behalf Did
not penetrate I cried my sigh was diluted In tears never noticed I am not a priest Praying is the language of spirit But that was stolen by diversity In my naivety Never
matured Never achieved serenity never
submit M. K. Sadigh The door open The door open I greeted the sun Walked through the air I am strolling nodding to strangers Different minds
different hearts Passing
me by Not even saying hi Who am I looking for? “The impossible” Never revealed concealed In
skinless curiosity Hidden fearfully From the eyes and ears In confinement and fear M. K. Sadigh |
