Hornswoggle Poem by Nassy Fesharaki

Hornswoggle

Guess title is the best
-to align with poem
- "Hornswoggle."

At main door I met them
-in their hands, glasses
-the ice danced, floated
-in and on the whisky.

Few words and I was
-on train for Kazan
-and Russian, retired.

Racism in them, was
-copied, as exact as is "Lava"
-spewing from one Volcano.

The Russian, ex-navy
-wanted back into sea
-in Russian submarine
-to roam in USA
- (No visa, nor permit)
- "As we did in our way! "

He supported Putin
- "He is good but still
-not enough since must we
-act as did our Leader, Stalin! "

He saw the Russians as
- "The wisest, best people! "

Last night in Win-Green
-the youths with the whisky
-were against "Indians! "
- (No talk of First Nations!)

"Pays to chiefs, government,
-they are thieves, corrupted,
-and take it for themselves;
-they deserve backwardness! "

I must choose a right way
-to let and allow them
-to emit their lava
-when sober or drunk
-this is called hornswoggle.
-I keep tongue in the cheek;
-add ears, increase …

Then sit and practice
- "Anatomy of the peace."

Who or what create
-the words I encounter?
- (A thing or a person?)

Stones, leaves and papers
-may not talk, nor claim;
-the mankind is revers…

They too have ideas!

Ideas branch off the trunks;
-fed by the roots and veins
-in place of parents,
-schooling and the faiths.

No one is full correct!

To hear what they say
-to get to the bottom
-of buried volcanoes
-I need to be patient.

Then logic…
-who, what is sediment?

Hope to find an answer
-for racists and fascists
-Hitler and Franco, Stalin
-and today's USA, Brazil
- "Nanking Rape" Japanese
-to Bagram…Abu Gharib...
