Bad poem


By Mohammed Reza Pakzad
March 15, 2002
The Iranian

Here is a bad poem I wrote in response to that bad poem "
I remember you" and some others ones you put in your site.



Now look! What is a poem for,


If it doesn't shed light on the life?


If it isn't brightened by the love?


If you shout it behind a closed door?



Now look! What is a poem for?


If it doesn't ask for justice


Or if it does but kills that peace


And leaves you empty and sour



Now look! What is a poem for?


If it leaves you hard as stone


Or as brittle as a dead bone


Like an empty shell in a shore



Or if it cuts that uniting thread


And makes all your beans spread


-Who will get them together again?


Tell me, is that a poem then?
