SCALES a poem by Manuel Keusseyan (December 26, 1988)


An unarmed monk,

In Lhasa,

His worthful honour held high,

His faith unwavering,

Faces the barrels of the gun


And voices: "Tibet !!!".




In Spitak,

From under the debris

Of the tremorous earthquake,

A pale young boy,

Stands up,

Throws off the dust and bloody cinders,


Then spirits out: "Armenia!!!"



Walking on towards a newer life.









Mother Djomolungma, Ararat the Free




Balances of God, and beneath His gaze




Points most sacred and equally mighty.




Supporting on their shoulders


The Great Harmony.
