Poetry > Modern Persian Poetry > THE WALLS OF A TOWN BY MANOUCHEHR SAADAT NOURY

If you want to know the heart of a town You better read, What in its walls have been written down?
If the walls are blank And deliver no message for today or tomorrow People there are frightened and in a deep sorrow
If there is Only a very unique slogan The town is ruled by an atrocious demon
Take the delight of the presence in the town And write down on a wall, By an angel, the demon will be overthrown.
