Tethered in Tehran

You're the nigger they have by the toe. You cannot not know that.
There's always someone watching you, and, thus, it's no surprise
That you've been hoping for a cataclysm: riots in the streets,
A coup, invasion by the very nations which so long have crippled
Yours. It's clear what is can't last much longer, but, alas, what
Takes its place is sure to also fix an iron grip upon your toe.

the title made me think of Mitterand
mit tehran
the fact that there is always someone specially amongst the dead watching you is a conundrum
the bad eye ....is a belief very common in North Africa

Never a truer word said. The past was a strange beast, the future might be even stranger now the beast has been let out of the bag! Blessings, Allen
