Manoucher Avaznia

The truth....

While many people are hopeful and joyful about the outcome, I have a fear that the truth lie elsewhere.

Joining Manouchehr, this election result has not the same effect on me (maybe I'm too pessimistic) because I always watch not to take a leaf for the trees.

Many Iranian-American and also other American who are not specially Iranian are so much focused on " US economy" or/and " US-IRAN" relation or the election result's impact on the Middle-East conflict, that they may become blind on the bigger picture which is " Africa".

The new focus of US politics is shifting toward African lands now....and we will see it more clearly in the coming decades. I'm afraid all this election scenario, is just a political tactic (manovre siasi)

We will talk about that later, when there's more obvious points to elaborate.

آرش جان؛

اگر چه رایت منصور نو انتخاب رسید

دعا و جهد کوشندگان به خوش جواب رسید

ز شوق فتح  و ظفر در آن شب تار

خنده بر لبان برفت و ز دیده آب رسید

جهان سکوت شکست و جشن تازه گرفت

ز هر کرانه نغمه ساز و رباب رسید؛

دلا؛ کجاست دیده روشن که ببیند باز

 از این کویر نه آب، که سراب رسید؟

کجاست عاقله مردم که حال پیران دید

بخواست مژده که: "مردم شباب رسید"؟

کدام ذائقه نوشید عقار و ادعا فرمود:

"ای راهیان میکده شراب ناب رسید"؟

چو قاطعان طریق همه ز یک رنگند

چه جای شعف که ناباب رفت و باب رسید؟

Arash, again a very nice poem...

But I still thing Manouchehr is right. I am always against idealization of all kind. Let not get in the same trap, again.

Hope all will be right from now on, but......let not to fool ouselves. Just wait and see the outcome, very calmly, optimistically.

Hafez disagrees ;-)

بیا که رایت منصور پادشاه رسید

نوید فتح و بشارت به مهر و ماه رسید

سپهر دور خوش اکنون زند که ماه آمد

جهان به کام دل اکنون رسد که شاه رسید

عزیز مصر به رغم برادران غیور

ز قعر چاه بر آمد، به اوج ماه رسید

Souri Jaan;

Have no doubt that you are absolutely and specifically right this time.  Fourteenth of the Mounth of Aabaan equals November the fourth when a new moon rose to the sky, however I do not see a night filled with moonlight.  I even do not see any prospect of such a bright night in the next four years.

Very well said

Again, I have an idea, about the subject. I agree with all you said here. Plus, as a poem, it is just lovely !
