Jahangir:
Majid jaan;
I am not clear if this was a “translation” of an original poem by Ezra, a rendition by you, or your own in its entirety.
In any case, I for one, enjoyed it, admired it, and tipped my hat to you. Not only as a born Jew, but as a believer that “solidarity “ among people of the earth is the only way to salvation!
Bravo.
Majid Naficy:
Thanks for your comment. In 1991 after reading the Old Testament in its entirety I wrote "Seven Sacred Songs" about seven characters including Ezra in which I presented a humanist interpretation of these characters instead of bigotry and brutality reflected in the Old Testament, New Testament , Quran and the like.
