For Neda Agha Soltan
A Poem by Patrick Davies
For "A Voice For Neda" writing contest. 
|
Screaming men,
Silent girl.
The heart that she had
To be there
Can no longer save her -
Alas, it may save the others.
Evil men,
Thoughtful girl -
With seconds to spare,
Her intent,
Her concerted gaze howls
A haunting appeal to the world.
Marching men,
Marching girls,
Calling for the truth,
asking, "How?"
Marching with the same grit
As the blood draws lines on her face.
Screaming men,
Silent girl,
I cannot forget this.
Screaming men,
Wonderful girl,
I will not forget this.
