And They Paid Poem by Nassy Fesharaki

And they paid

History, novelists and poets
- (most of them)
-do not write, keep silent
-on microns and microbes…
-which in fact, are basis
-and the cores, foundations.

He, I think, best, led me;
- (His parents, communists;
-not the way that we think,
-just caring socialists…
-surely had their impact.)

He tells me of the
-nineteen-eighties.

"Ceaușescu had paid debts,
-Western World intended
-giving loan for sake of interest…"

This is what guide said; and went on:
- "President rejected…"

Then, the world of commerce
-chose a dirty old game "embargo…"

"Rare became milk, butter! ! ! "

Lines were long, for hours
-yet, get not what wanted! ! !

People had children…

Everyone was shouting:
- "Me, for me…" were begging.

"Person came with boxes,
-of butter…
-saw people, was scared…
-threw bars to people
-like the bones to the dogs! "

Hair stood on its end
-when told me my friend:
- "Those who caught,
-could go home…
-leave behind no trace…
-but, honest, went and paid…"

Such samples are many
Such microns plenty…

All ignored;
-none is told!

History, which we read
-in school, military, libraries
- (and talked of variedly…)
-is made-up, rich with lies.

Go look at the churches,
-many mosques, palaces,
-they are built on what were
-ancient homes and shrines!

Archeologists?
-this too is similar?
-with carbon?

Can be right? Don't trust!

Mustn't take anyone as full right!
-example is Trump and his lies,
-who, I hope loses life to friends
-who make and own the guns, NRA…!

Then, of course
-rest assured, history will make him a hero
-same is done with Reagan to Lincoln;
- (Powerful buries bad, highlights well!)

Wish was soul, could hover
-see many thousand years;
-the Pharaohs to Tsars, Bin Laden.
