Authority Poem by Nassy Fesharaki

Authority

Tonight I
Pain in butts
-of sitting on the chair
-metal, hard
-to follow read and write
Have learned that
"I am none…"

Started with show of Oprah
"Racism against the Indians, "

Then the Jane Elliott's
Racism
"Blue eye,
Brown eye"

Remembered the Chola, Cholita

Empathised with oppressed
Indians
Red skins

Went over the riots
Of blacks
Freedom of slaves
By Lincoln
President

Same man is behind the genocide
Of so called savages
Squaws
They see him
As "Butcher! "

Again I learned the same
Corruption is child of
Wealth, power
Three are related
Direct and linear!
