Eraser Poem by Nassy Fesharaki

Eraser

On the canvas and on a notebook page
of an artist and a child with water colours

Words
the man's creation during the time
are made of characters and designs.

Words
are toys
are joys
and…

Words
are amusements

Words
are medicine
but in times poison

Words
are guns
are walls
are tanks
are bombs
bombers and drones

Words
can be bridges; needed to be crossed
with open mind and love in our hearts

Where is the eraser to wipe the barriers?
