Bluff Poem by Nassy Fesharaki

Bluff

I enjoy reading books,
On, about the brooks,
Residents, admirers,
Relatives, partners!

I speak with the fish,
With bushes and trees,
With searchers of haven,
The Indigenous, Indians!

Read reports of the times,
On Savage, by the White!

See the wars, massacres,
Frog Lake and Big Bear,
Cut Knife to Pound-maker,
Almighty's voice, Bluff,
To rape of white women,
To kidnapped, kidnappers!

All of them in papers
Exaggerate, are larger:
"Be the first to blame,
Fugitive, dangerous! "

In this way has happened,
From past to these days!

Repeated Kissinger:
"Enemy must be made,
Divide, fool, conquer! "

McCarthy and others
Climbed the same ladders!

Read reports of their days,
On Big Bear, Poundmaker,
Then listen to the women,
None ever said was raped!

What about Cavalcante?
