One Dot Poem by Nassy Fesharaki

One dot

The Mountain
If compared with the Earth,
Is one dot…

In writing the letters,
Of many, many tongues,
There are dots.

With a dot misplaced,
Everything faces change.

A simple example,
The Tar, Bar,
And the par,
And the Nar,
In Farsi, or Persian,
All, are of two letters,
Every dot causes change.

Too many books are there,
They speak of Spain,
Through seas and mountains:
"Victorious, conqueror."

The writers were rulers,
And many religious,
And some in business.

If not all, most of them,
Lied and lied in excess.

Guaman Poma of Andes,
An unknown, until then,
Was a dot discovered,
With him came the changes,
On Incas and Spain…

Washington, USA,
Killed, stole, and hid the,
Bells of the Balangiga Church,
Bodies of Bin Laden, and El Che.
