X R Poem by Nassy Fesharaki

X R

Since we feel extinction
Must resist and rebel;
With it I travel
On roads to demonstrate.

In the times I see the
Buffalo killed and dead,
Bones on bones are piled
And trees uprooted
And mostly exported.

Thanks to the Europeans.

See the lies march forward
Hand in hand with greed
In the name of a God,
Jesuits' and the kings'
And the men of the seas;
Hungry, mostly sick…

The forests, prairies
Are sold to the dreams
Of the Pope and priests.

Vanish the livelihood
Of water and green
With beavers and robins
And mammals and the fish.

"We grow the crops and will feed
Every mouth, parents', kids'
In the name of Queen! "

They said and promised
But now with gates open
We feel the disasters;
Everyone will be dead
In less than century.
This means our extinction
That needs our resistance
For righteous, let's rebel!
