One realizes many a times that it\'s because the same old faces, and I mean literally old - are are at the helm - that the transformation and evolutionary wheel does not turn. Old politicians refuse to give in. It\'s the untold leadership pandemic! - Thank you for shining a light on this, dear Poet.

Interesting poem with political issues.
I would say this :
It is a shame that this is happening in a country of great Persian culture and heritage. Country of great poets, Rumi, Hafiz, and others

This poem hit my thoughts.
It is a great poem.
In my country, we would often say
My falcon to a young man or a child.
Words Go on falcon in my country is often said to encourage to support a young man to endure to fight. Mothers are sensitive and they would say to their son My falcon to express how proud they are. Thank you. Bravo!!

(Dear cherished Poet, you\'ve penned
Such a beautiful ode
to a most tragic, yet Talented
soul
what a wonderful read, thank you!
for inspiring my little scribbled reply
and letting me join you in celebrating
a True legend..)
troubled Grandmother of jazz/soul
Her name, as head of a household
that never let her head rest
nor heart feel sustained peace..
still, despite it all she triumphed
graced us with 73 years, and music
that will serenade
\'Sunday morning, Love\'
to a generation of generations
\'At Last\', may she rest in peace..

Thanks for the introduction, Parisab. Decided to find her and what she was about (my ignorance). Dived down the rabbit hole. The utube warren is a wonderous place and after an interlude with Etta slipped down a side passage and found myself with Nina once more.....

I am such a fan. Are you possibly familiar with Miss Cecile McLoren Salvant? On one song yiu May hear bits of Sarah, Billie, Ella, and Etta. Considered the foremost female jazz vocalist in the world and is subtle and wonderful in a most creative snd artful approach

6 Billion is Biden\'s number??
USA in Trillions of debt
yet
6 Billion thrown at Ukraine\'s
clown leader, just a few months ago
and here another 6 Billion
to USA\'s supposed enemies
who are supporting Russia
(please I\'m too stupid
to comprehend this idiocy
why would you give money
to support one side of a war
then give the same amount
to the opposing side, via
\'a friend\'
to keep war going? for what
to what end, to win an election?
thousands of deaths for that?!
help it make sense!?)
plus Afghan debacle
(all hair/beauty salons
closed, by LAW...)
and this is not a religious
argument/perspective
this is methodologies of oppression
disguised as social conflict points
...
that poor young lady..
and the many more
without \'a photogenic\' face
that the press ignore...
I\'m so grateful
for the small mercy\'s in my life
we must treasure what
breath, life, freedom, peace
we\'re granted, truly..
(sorry for ranting a little
i got a little emotional)

Parisab, your very short three liner made for some very interesting debate.
Of the two issues you choose to highlight, for me, the death of a young Iranian woman seems the easiest to understand in terms of repressive regime, oppression of women and so on.
Your second, for me, is much more complicated in one sense. I’ve never properly been able to quite understand the labyrinthine nature of the US political system or, for that matter their foreign policy – although in the case of the latter the results are there for all to behold.
I was your ”must learn from the history” phrase which really cheered me. I’ve pushed this point before (at boring length some might argue) with little positive response. Nice to see someone else here give it at least an honourable mention.
You’ll note I excluded the ‘we’ from the quote – another bee which buzzes around in my bonnet at times and which I’ve occasionally allowed to buzz on these pages – again with an indifferent response.

After reading your poem I searched to learn more about this murder, for I believe that is what it was. The first thing that struck me was that she was in the custody of Morality Police, which puts me in mind of the thought police in George Orwell\'s 1984\". I can\'t speak to the politics of the situation with Biden, but I certainly support the Woman Life Freedom movement, and it sickens me that any where in this world today, women have to fight for the basic human right to be free. I certainly understand your position, and I hope and pray that one day such repression will be a thing of the past. God bless my friend.

You have been so generous in your kindness, but I’m afraid it is much more complicated than that-Obama promised a measured response and all the money released ‘for humanitarian use’ never got to the hand of the people and only the hands of IRGC to make drones for the Russians, fan the war in Syria, sell black market petroleum to China, and crack down the protestors-We must learn from the history and not engage in short term and naive? policy, timing is symbolic too-we are enabling crooks and state mafia-thank you once again for care and attention-

Thank you... The state murders of Mahsa and all the other brave victims of the fanatical regime are worthy of constant reminders. I suggest being patient with the Biden administration. This is not remotely a situation of their making and the release of the funds is a controlled, measured effort to free some of the other detainees of the lawless IRI. I follow the situation closely and I know that sanctions have not worked very well because many other states are willing to support the regime, like Russia and China and Syria. Love to you.

A situation (your second proposition) I\'m not familiar with.
What is to be done?
Not sure your statement can be \'not political\' I\'d consider it was - but non the worse for that.
Almost any statement about human interaction, the doings of man (term used advisedly) is at base political.
