Convince Me Poem by Nassy Fesharaki

Convince me

I dislike USA
- (government, not people)
-convince me if am wrong
-am open to convert…

Don't act as nationalist
-keep open eyes and think,
-watch steps; no rushing.

If no one before him
-last leader made us see
-and gave us a warning
-for pockets, safety
-if ever talking with, relying
-on White House, USA.

He is the simplest;
-possibly most honest.

He says it loudly and
-openly, clear:

"Give! "
"Give! "
"Give! "

"Bow! "
"Bow! "
"Bow! "

This is what I had seen
- (now see it openly.)

"The trade between us…"
-he says is:
- "…founded on exchanging
- some bribe
-between the officials, the corrupt! "

Then keeping the mouths shut
-can be heard: "…in secret
-it is not for nations! "

Same has been USA
-from when Washington
-helped allies in Europe
-to shatter Ottomans!

Look at the World War Two
-the same is repeated!
-oh, "Great USA! ? "

Turn pages and read well,
-their actions, behaviours.

See all the contracts.
See imports and exports.
See friends and the foes.
See the talks in the times.
See the verbs, sentences.
See, test, taste phrases.

All of them abusive, one-sided.
All of them to divide and break.

Japs, or the Japanese descendants
-were gathered, collected and herded
-into barns as had been First Nations…

Refugees-displaced of the War
- (Include endangered Jews on run
-from the labour-camps and beyond,
-were ignored till became the tool of…)

Behaviours of White House
-on land that had belonged
- (far before written-laws)
-to elders, First Nations
-was and is all, but shame!

The land is deeply soaked in blood
-on their words nobody can rely!

I dislike USA; convince me, if am wrong!
