The Brits In Iran And Reverse Poem by Nassy Fesharaki

The Brits in Iran and reverse

Years ago
-when twelve, early teens
-read a lot
-wanted to and had to race, catch up
-with those who had grown
-in city of Tehran
-to richer families…

Purchased books
-rented them and exchanged
-many were classics but abridged.

But also books of past
-among them Ghazzali's
-and lot of history.

One writer, I liked most
-was Ismail, Raeen
- (guess met him in a shop
-where he worked for research
-south part of Street (Ferdowsi) .

"You have time and will read…"
-he told me when asked him for some books
- "…when grown…"
-I left him politely
-not saying "Am grown already! "

One of books from him
-or someone's who wrote things
-as he did,
-was named "British in Iran, "
-another was of our trips to London.
-They revealed the mistakes;
-raised question: "And what if…? "

The courts made decisions
-which were based on reports
-some turned to disasters
-for us all
- "And what if not this, but…? "

I grew with such books…
- "Nothing is concrete…
-when talking politics…
-It all may end in hell
-depending who is the
-FINAL SAY…"

Look at the hell of now
-and recent years of wars
-the rise of ISIS and Taliban
-wars on them and selling
-MASS OF GUNS…

Look at the marches of kids in world
- "WE NEED CHANGE…
- WANT IT NOW…"

Then let's go to the second amendment
- (The cause of holding gun…)

It was made only to
-PROTECT GOVERNMENT
-FROM COUPS…

The next book
-on "Persians in London, "
-or something around that
-was as is now with us now
- (and books that have on hand;
- "Betrayal of nations…")

Such books are only to
-sell self or our blood
-by lying to the ones
-among whom we live now;
-by lying: "I am you …
-damn those that I have left…"

Look at the Washington
-and the recent changes, John Bolton
-and mass of informer-immigrants
-working for FBI, CIA…"
