Miwok Poem by Nassy Fesharaki

MIWOK

Some tell me
- "You are too angry! "

It can be possible
-would you not?
- (if were me!)

Are you a human?
-hear and?
-observe and?
-be aware
-and still?

What you want from me
-when cheaters and corrupt
-are leaders like Trump?

They meet up to steal,
-from poor and dervish
-truckloads, cargo-ships

And still?
-you want me to dance, sing?

I have kept my Champaign
-sitting by the fridge…
-will have it when collapse
-these liars and bandits

Imagine having learned
-of the coasts and the lakes
-and people, their houses
-until the Yankees came
-killed the land of Miwok

Imagine search and fail
-not finding single one
-all of them gone today
-and land is registered
-in the name of Trump
-or one of his teammates
