The Gandhi of our Century

Dedicated to Dr.Farhad Meysami

Farhad Meysami

A doctor,writer,teacher and a social activist

Now is in prison

Why?! Because he protested for hijab 4 years ago

And was sentenced to 6 years of prison.

Now he is extremely thin and is in danger of death

Words are silly as a weapon comparing to his

Why has he become like this?

He has ignored eating unless his demands are met

What are his demands?

Freedom of 6 social activists

Stopping Execution

Stopping oppressed hijab

He is another Farhad

Kind,caring and the purest form of human

I always find it my duty

To be the voice of these people

They are very rare diamonds

And not every nation has the chance to have them

Farhad Meysami

Farhad Meysami

Is the name of the true successor 

Of Gandhi

He is not a crazy idiot

He is far greater than a patriot

 

Author's Note

If you care for humanity, be the voice of Dr Farhad Meysami,
Sorry for not using the correct form of poetry.

“To be the voice of these people
They are very rare diamonds
And not every nation has the chance to have them”
You are a young, strong, pure, poetic voice for brave, compassionate Dr. Meysami and other human rights activists in your country, dear Nima. You open our eyes to teach us about them and their causes. Powerful voices like yours must be heard and will surely change our world. I stand and applaud you and pray for Dr. Meysami’s recovery.

Wow I'm so touched by your review dear Annette, thanks for paying attention and your kind words. These people are endangering themselves for humanity and the future generations. Not all of us have the guts to stand against oligarchs to fight against their propaganda. As the world has become smaller due to the internet, it's the duty for us to be the voice of all people who are defending humanity, no matter what their religion or nationality they have.
Many thanks and best wishes
Nima

At this young age, to feel responsible for these gems, feel frustrated, the urge and need to be their voice, this I admire bout You my dear, this is great and never underestimate this role of yours. Don't worry about writing real Poetry, at this time what You need is to pour your thoughts to be heard, later, You will improve more and more. The photos are so touching... he has a very tender smile, he reminds me with my Dad, he never lost his light. May all Angels be on his side, give him the ultimate strength and peace, sooth all his sufferings and pains 🙏‍✨✨

You are so kind and generous toward me my dear, thank you a thousand times.
Our biology teacher was carrying today, he said that the hopeful sentences Dr Meysami wrote in his books, were always a savior for many disappointed students.
He is one of those rare people, the true heroes that defeat dictatorship with all they have including pen and their lives. I wish that Farhad lives enough to see the result of his pains.
Thanks again for your caring and I'm sure Farhad will be grateful to have people like you praying for him.
Regards and endless love dear Noona.

I think You meant (crying). You are always welcome my dear, That You already being touched and wrote about Dr. Farhad it means that he already delivered his message... You honored him in your own way, I can imagine him smiling at You from the far distance...

[Nima.Hope]

Yes I meant crying(I'm the king of typos lol).
That's an honor for me, may he taste the sweet taste of freedom as soon as possible.
Thank you my dearest

Such a pity that people are imprisoned for speaking out. Sad it is that in some parts of the world, opinions are silenced. Freedom of speech has to be fought for at times. He is a brave man and I applaud the stance he takes Nina.

Two generations of students have used his books and helps for being successful in the university entrance exam, such a noble person must be treated this way!
Thank you my dear Chris, I missed you a lot. I was not able to come to the cafe, because I have to connect to a VPN for entering this website which is not easy to do in Persia.
Many thanks
