Another Guess Poem by Nassy Fesharaki

Another guess

Have a piece of clay
From vase, broken.

Know its date,
Not exact.

Have found it in Chaco
There, trace-less graves
Speak of fallen dead
Of Natives and soldiers,
Digested by the earth
And rulers, millionaires.

Unmarked were all of them,
Could not see barriers,
Could not find single name!

Slept there in darkness
To observe the mistakes.

All around were plains
In the mouth of monster
That eats us, as mother.

Heard no voice, no motion
All were killed before birth,
The ants there had kingdom.

I speak with clay,
In attacks broken:
"Who was chief?
Who obeyed?
Who was help?
Who cheated? "

Then read the history,
Books on the sociology,
Physiology, archaeology,
Anthropology, arcology,
Find them all to be lies
Or guesses with carbon.
