Chahar-Beyti · Four-Couplet
Human
Vahid Nazemi
Is being wasted, the life - is passing as lost time,
Like the moon, every dream - spinning, windy clime.
Too many turning moons - make fear, horror, crime,
Finally, no ring, sound - of the noisy youth’s chime.
Somebody in fall, loss - some other, gain and prime,
Risk with “cleanliness” - in the world of dirt, grime.
And the golden days, nights - wasted as a junky dime,
No trace in this challenge - of human love’s rhyme.
