نمی خواهمت ای نفت!
04-Oct-2007
This poem was first published in Persian in Sorrow of the Border (anduh-e marz) San Diego 1989, and then in English in Muddy Shoes (Beyond Baroque Books 1999) as well as Poets Against the War edited by Sam Hamill (Nation Books 2003). ENGLISH TEXT
نمی خواهم
نمی خواهمت ای نفت!
دیر زمانی می پنداشتم
که تو بر سر من می سوزی
اینک می بینم
که من بر سر تو می سوزم
نمی گویم که دلپذیر نیست
نشستن در کنار بخاری نفتی
و دل دادن به ریزش آرام برف
و تاپ تاپ مکینه های آبی
در فراخنای دشت
با این همه، باورت نمی کنم
ای هیولای هفت سر
هنوز از دهان تو
آتش به جان این وطن می ریزد
در مکتب تو آموختم که بیگاری کنم
تا خان ایل، خانزاده را به لندن بفرستد
و ارتش امپراتوری در محمره
خواب عدالتخانه را از سرم بیرون کند
در خیابان ها خون من ریخته شد
تا جوهر قلم هایی شود
که قرار دادهای جدید اسارت را نوشتند
دروازه های توحش
با کلید تو باز شد
و دجال موعود، امروز
بر خر زرین تو مهمیز می کشد
تو این دولت را به عرش اعلی رساندی
تو چکمه های او را صیقل دادی
تو گرز هفت سر او را بالا بردی
و هر زمان که من خیز برداشتم
تا پائین اش کشم
تو زیر هیکل لرزانش
شمعک گذاشتی
نه! نمی خواهم
نمی خواهمت ای نفت
ای شط خونین!
دیر زمانی می پنداشتم
که من از تو خون می گیرم
اینک می بینم
که تو از من خون می گیری

THANK YOU
Love Me No More
by Abol H Danesh (not verified) on Thu Oct 04, 2007 08:09 PM CDTI truly enjoyed this poem for its superb music and its awesome arrangement of object personfication.
However, don't reject this love (oil) so hastely and so harshly ... instead adopt a new motto toward it and the motto is:
Oh oil ...Oh my old love... times has changed... I have developed and matured now and therefore know a lot better... from three on "I don't love you but I am not going to leave you either"
I wish we never had it

I really enjoyed your poem. Indeed, the biggest curse the people of this region faced was the curse of Oil. What has the average Middle Easterner gained from oil? Nothing, but more tyranny and occupation.
