“Life of the poor – a poem by Sonia Tayebi”

من می‌خواهم به دانشگاه بروم

I want to go to university.

The Afghan girl named “Latifeh” who did not undergo surgery at Shiraz Hospital and died.

من دوستت دارم

I love you.

How to embrace you

With these hands full of thorns

Full of shame

Iranian doctors

Oh, what a joke

This land is torn apart

Oh, what a joke

These doctors are troubled by greed

They were the ropes of executioners…

How do they sleep

When your childhood is in their hands

This is power

Drunk and confused

Chaotic

Forgotten

These fragile humans

Have been driven out of the heart of the earth

Who with their hands of knowledge,

Oh, what a joke, oh, what a joke

Not a mother

This land

How can it

Take your childhood away…

These doctors

These hospital poisons

In this deep cave

Greedy, they have made you weightless.

The tragedy of your death is a shame

On the hands of Avicenna who has gone into seclusion

Oh, what a joke, oh, what a joke!

Today’s hungry world

Is moving forward
