Screened Poem by Nassy Fesharaki

Screened

In free time, for fun
-to learn more and add up
-to knowledge, socialize,
-I gather and compile
-parts of films, paste or cut
-then edit, and go on…

Had worked on First Nations
-of the lands, far away
-and their ways and cultures
-and sameness and differs…

Screened one of them
-for Prof, classmates
-who work as researchers…

Many were in own shells!

A voice laughed inside me
-heard it ask: "Researchers? "

Felt them lack interest
-since nowhere in brain
-can draw, shape image
-to cross their knowledge
-which is boxed, limited!

They read and write essays
-on what is in books-texts.

Limited, limited, limited
-gain degrees, graduate…

For me was a lesson!

Don't expect a success
-till we are blind, deaf
-to the lives of others.
