Notes	The interconnectedness of humanity is emphasized in this poem: a misdeed or lack of charity in once place, is felt somewhere else. Although no specifics are given in the poem, Teheran, Calcutta, and Afghanistan are explicitly mentioned. Notably, Iran and Afghanistan went through turbulent periods in the 1970s, when this poem was initially published (1975), with the Iranian Revolution and the Soviet Invasion of Afghanistan occurring at the end of the decade.
