What is it..........

you wanted to know about the world?
about the lives of inanimate objects?
about the mimickery of human form?
about the eye of the photographer?
about the exuberance of the actor?
the control of the director?
the ideas of the author?

what is it........
you wanted to know about a country
just north of Iran
with more cousins in that country than their own
which is more than 95% Muslim
but which doesn't conform to the stereotypes
held so dear elsewhere........
where they perform Kafka
in a way that is relevant and exciting
where they have fountains which sing
where they honour the fallen with an eternal flame
where the uniformity is a mask
where the independence is strong
and where so many stories wait to be told......

what is it in our world
that doesn't rely on formulaic images
to diversify human life

what is it............
shaping and making this planet for what it is
for better
or for worse?
