The 22-year-old Esmail Khoi wrote this short poem on the 3rd of May 1961 in Tehran: TO BE (II) Like God: I worship myself. He puts his seal of existence on everything Lest someone should think that the eternally hidden one does not exist; As for me, I write verses to make it publicly known that I exist.
