Alborz Poem by Nassy Fesharaki

Alborz

"This is how it has been; "
-I read but disagree.

Satan came with the torch
-with knowledge, opened door.
-Eve tricked Adam and
-delivered children
-with whom came a flood
-full of pains and much mud.

This went on till I came
-to live life, miserable!

Read to learn, travelled
-carved in mind interests.

Ferdowsi poked me with
-The Great Shahnameh,
-in which are stories;
-love and wars in degrees
-and heroes and martyrs
-that attract attention.

"Rostam fought White-Demon! "

Having learned of Rostam,
-pain of search became the
-infectious sickness with:
- "Who and where is Demon? "

Joyfully found address
- "In Alborz…"
- "Can it be the Russians? "

Put my nose into it
-checked Moscow, Petersburg,
-found them young and naive
-to have fought that Hero!

Their oldest registered
-is a book of voyage
-over the three seas
-which I found a copy.

"Original was burnt in…"
-I was told; kept searching:
- "Could it have existed?
-Can it be fantasy? "

Researcher is obliged;
-and must be logical,
-wrong it is to stop.

Studied the past when
-houses were of timber
-in the name of "Izba."

Forts, fences and the walls
-followed the same style.

So, clouds and thunder
-could set them on fire
-as we see in BC and LA.

Thoughts amassed; tumor
-which burst out an answer:
- "Mankind is unable
-yet selfish, Narcissist! "

Now, sit back and wrestle
-with laughter at the term:
- "Mankind is the wisest! "

Reviewing the books and news:
- "Voyage of Nikitin Afanesy, "
- "Ice is found on The Moon, "
- "Scientists shed light on:
-Celestial Mystery or ‘Steve! '"

I laugh at selfishness
-of mankind with weakness!

Admire the Nature
-as greatest power; all able.
