Great But Not Poem by Nassy Fesharaki

Great but not

Time is a mirror to
-the lives of artists
-that do well
-in shaping,
-formatting,
-and framing
-but
-handcuffed;
-cannot present
-at all, or as deserved…

Thousands and thousands
-thousands upon thousands
-of drawings, paintings
-and written words
-worthy and great,
-have gone
-and will go
-down the bin,
-in trash
-and burned;
-as have been
-the lives of poets
-like Pond
-and many,
-because
-just because
-because
-the artist is handcuffed
-and blindfolded
-by poverty
-by authorities
-by…
-and…
-and…
-and…

Therefore, artists,
-mostly,
-die tongue in cheek…
-pain in heart…till relieved!
