Woman, Life, Freedom

To all the Iranians fighting for freedom.

Woman Life Freedom

In their names

That  have become our code

The catastrophe that

 changed our mood

Walks behind our eyes

 like a Nazi regime parade

Kids are being killed

Weaponless people being raided

Mahsa, Nika, Hannaneh

Are heroes of us

I’m so much shy

Comparing myself to them

Cause They died for us

So we live the free Persia

They sang the most touching

Awakening slogan of Asia

Mahsa was 22 and full of life

What was her sin?

To be killed like that?

“The reason was hijab”

Said the Fascist president rat

Nika was 16 and full of life

They killed her with gun

And didn’t tell her parents she was gone

For 14 days to make fun

What was her sin?

She protested for the death of Mahsa

Hannaneh was 22 and full of life

They killed her just

A week before her wedding

They killed the 10 year old Kian

in front of his mother's eyes

with 4 bullets

This is my answer

To the question:

“Why do you want to cry?”

To all brave women:

“You are more strong and brave than me

I’m so sorry for words are my only weapon”

I.R killed 420

With the same stories above

Nazi’s will cry for the things happened to us

We don’t have guns

Being targets of guns

All of it happened

Completely in Persia

A country which once

Was the king of Asia

In culture, in science ,in hospitality

And now it is in war for medieval era’s rights

The basic rights which were banned for long for us

I wanted to cry aloud for thousand times

But for now I’m laughing instead

Cause there’s no tears left

For me to cry

The day of my happiness

Is the punishment day for those criminals

The day we will exile them

And make this motto real:

Woman,Life,Freedom

You are so right, Nima! The words are our only weapon against tyranny! Keep your important messages alive as long as the injustice exists!

[Nima.Hope]

It's our duty to not be silent. Thank you Alla, we must fight the injustice even if we can't win.

I've always wondered if civilization was matriarchal, how much more advanced would we be? Not bogged down by so much war. The freedom of ideas shared without thought of the gender of who shares them. Words can be powerful weapons if aimed in the right direction. If only so many who would shoot, weren't blinded by ignorance. The Nazis crying phrase you wrote is so powerful. You are right, even Nazis might be shocked by what we see and know.

The human being is a wild animal who can talk and think, but still, it "can" think and it won't most of the times......
There are horrible governors in the middle-east much worse than Hitler, even Hitler cared for his dog or his country lol....

This poem didn't just touch me, it broke my heart. The stabbling emotional pain of your words is very very real. Your poetry is very moving. Be the voice of those whose voices were robbed from them forever, way before their time.

[Nima.Hope]

Oh DIVYA, I'm in such sadness for all these people that died and they most of them were under 25 years old that my nights are fulfilled with sorrow.
I had to write these words, this is the only thing I could for this people and their suffering. They only need to have someone speak for them to the world, from all over the world.
Thanks for your caring words and hats off to you. I will visit your page soon dear friend.
Many Regards

[DIVYA]

I am with you in this sorrow that you feel for these wonderful young people. Wishing you a nice day. Take care.

[Nima.Hope]

Thank you my dear friend for your kindness.
Have a lovely day. Will visit you soon.

[DIVYA]

You are most welcome, dear friend.

[jacob erin-cilberto]

your words are a powerful weapon, Nima.
You spread the word of the tragedy in a country where rights have been erased.
Your words are a call to arms, a call for understanding and action.
This is your ammunition, and you use it well.

I'm so humbled by your words sir, please pray for us to win this unfair battle, I don't know till when we must be killed for the basic rights.
All the best wishes to you sir

Along the perfect title, what a beautiful meaningful photo You shared along your words my dear...

First, NEVER be sorry, each have their roles in life, and yours is "WORDS". don't underrate the role and power of words. I am happy to see You finally pulling your emotions out, I love this, it is poetical and strong, heartfelt and calm (yes as You've told me :) ) and when the heart beats peacefully trying to deliver the message with no rage, that's a powerful point, because like that You are fighting violence with peace, mess with calmness, guns with pens.

The bright future is ahead of You, keep your eyes there and take care of yourself and your heart and know not only me, but also other friends here are for You❤️

[Nima.Hope]

Your words are kind and warms my heart. I will always take off my hat for those brave boys and girls, who fought against these b******s, to start a movement to bring an end to all those ridiculous laws and superstitions.
All my people need is that others be their voice, for we are restricted so hard and I'm sure these youth's blood will defeat their guns.
Your words are golden and make me hopeful.
I'm glad to know such good friends.
Endless regards my dear:)
