Banyan Not Bamyan Poem by Nassy Fesharaki

Banyan not Bamyan

I purchased the book eagerly
-in rush and was wrong
-as I am most of the times
-this time mistook "n" for "m"…

All of my hopes went down the drain
-down the sewage though can learn
-as I have, something else

Yet hopes and dreams are drowned
-somehow dead…
-are Afghanistan and Hazara
-and no history of corruption
-as well as nothing of injustice
-as I wanted, expected
-related to my background knowledge!
