This poetry has been selected as “poem of the week” in “poets against the war”.
Hadi Mohammadzadeh, “Exploding the grenade in windows” (Iran, 10/16/04)
Like a bear after honey
You are raiding the oil wells
And you are consuming all the oil refineries
And tar is dripping from your lips
You offered to soldiers the cigar of the death
World's Chimpanzees are your right counselor
And World's hyenas are your left counselor
Oil wells are your wife's dowry
And gas wells are your daughter's dowry too.
You are playing hide and seek with your brothers in caves!
You keep your eyes And Bin Laden hides then Molla Omar keeps his eyes and you hide!
You explode the grenade in windows
And Afghan and Faluje's children are burning in fire.
A crackbrain threw a stone in a well and the world was addled!
Your breakfast is nuclear meal
And your dinner is radium and monkey's brainO grown-up with nukes's milk
And atomic nipples
O sir inverse!
O sir semicircle!
Tie your halter to Pisa Tower
Until you don't fall from the other 11 September
O sir buffalo!
You throw democracy stones from airplane over people's heads
And people with broken heads are required to salute you.
See! you were converted to poets against the war's guinea pig!
Your brain is made of sheep's tripe
Your Pupil is made of molten tar For laughing Sometimes
Can make a brain from sheep's tripe
For a president who thinks like a houseflyYou are like Pharaohs and mummies
And like a monkey
Who jumps out of a country to another country and oil well to another oil well.
How should you search the atomic dust
After lenitive pills for Condoleeza Rice and opiate pills for Powell?O sir rubbish!
The world isn't debris
And humankind isn't atomic dust!
Your defense minister is a feebleminded human
And your right counselor is primitive man
And Rice is troglodyte woman
Hang yourself from the sky! like a spider
Until you don't see earth like a rectangular bed!

Hello President
This poetry has been selected by poets against the war
Hadi Mohammadzadeh
Hello President!
I have examined you!
You aren't human president!
You haven't value at all!
when you passed over Iraq's sky and midget lieutenant generals welcomed you with a wave of their hands,
which flower and plant and tree took off their hats out of respect for you?
Iraq's sky should be washed with rain utterly.
Your pass only aroused the trees and planets from sleep.
And poisoned the birds.
O injustice over Najaf!
O rain of blight over Karbala!
You have drooped slowly in the oil wells of the south
and your throat smells of oil.
O Gendarme!
O descended into hell!
O Winter !
O grown bloodsucker in the dump of history!
O Gangster!
Karbala isn't Texas
Well listen to me President!
all the fiends are acclaiming
and angels are booing you
cut your coat according to your cloth!
and hold the hands of Satan
and go to hell!

Desperation
A morning
I sat on park bench, beside the Desperation! Desperation had donned a nut-brown T-shirt and a navy-blue, pin stripe trousers!
And had a dusty woolen cap on!
I picked up the night and poured it in a glass And drank it!
Suddenly
my whole being changed to nightfall!
Hadi Mohammadzadeh
This poetry has been translated from Farsi by myself

Say That Poetry and Hyacinthes are rightful not Cluster bombs.
Alireza Ghazveh (Iranian poet)
Edited by Dr. Tahere Saffarzadeh
Translator: Hadi Mohammadzadeh
Notes on the third war
O God! You who are Creator of Mussa and Pharaoh.
That you can convert minor George Bush into a sparrow or an alligator!
O God! that you created Satan from angel
And you who pull out fire through the water.
You created Eve from the left flank of Adam
And, Osame bin Laden from the left flank of Bush.
O God! you who are Creator of Eggplant and United Nations!
Creator of Security Council and backgammon!.
I search for your prophets miracles's address.
O God! you who are Creator of both Iraq and Washington.
That you set up Iraq as the land of old civilization And Washington as the land of missile and buffalo.
O God! you who are Creator of both the poetry and childish orations of the Presidents.
Say that Poetry and Hyacinthes are rightful not Cluster bombs.
O God! you who are Creator of sky-scraperes out of oil.
O God! you who are Creator of Naseriya and Baghdad children from Hanging Gardens bone.
O God! you who are Creator of Stalin and Menachem Begin.
O God! you who are Creator of Marxes and Awacses you who hung Saddam over the Hammurabi land.
You who placed King of Kuwait in the matchbox.
The mass graves of south Iraq's God! Divert From the Najaf's Vadi-al-salam Hood the prophet and Saleh the prophet to us, with a miracle.
We are waiting for a miracle apart from oil.
Then O Arab's coffee-houses and water pipes , onward! a few paces.
O cabarets with your dancers ,onward! a few paces.
O juggler's sleight of a matchbox ,who come out wax and brush from that, Aback! a few paces.
O Ordoghan And goal in ninety minute , in friendly goal ,who put up your sky at auction,aback! a few paces.
Oh my God! what is Mozaffar al Navvab writing now?
Which poetry has hiden Mohammad Al-Maghut's in his coffee?
O God! you who are the Creator of poetry and Schiller
O God! you who are the Creator of Khayyam and Hafiz and Goethe
O God! you who are the Creator of Lorca , Neruda and Ritsos
What would happen if instead of Huntington and Tony Blair and Jack Straw ,
instead of Bush and Rumsfeld and Pawell ,
you had created an Eliot?
Or at least
you had created from the Wasteland's cows
a sparrow or even an alligator!

Spring in elevator
Alireza Ghazveh(Iranian poet)
translator:hadi mohammadzadeh
The electric current had been disconnected
and Spring had caught in elevator!
And it had rained in it!(elevator).
Well!
when electric current has been disconnected
The moon adheres on sky’s roof!
And the meridians and orbits adheres on Earth’s roof!
This (to adhere on sky’s and Earth’s roof) isn’t a very serious matter
But this Rains and Thunderbolts are serious!
And the truth is that sometimes
The Spring catches in elevator too!
