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.

Thought provoking and enigmatic in its symbols. They may be taken several ways and are left open to interpretation which is wonderful in and of itself. It allows the reader to project a bit of themselves into it.

these words will be needed
should be repeated
for every new generation, to realise
until someday
people will learn, belief\'s or culture
if our ideal\'s equate to us judging
another person, as being less
due to our differences
and their entitled, choices
then it is our ideals that must
change!
such a timely and needed write, dear Poet
thank you!

Parisab said:
Thanks my dear poet friend-my words described that intoxicated feeling-I know if you’re aware that research suggests the brain releases those intense chemicals couple times in a life span and after that it releases the chemicals for attachment and bonding (and more mature and stable love:))

first and last line, bookend
and contextualise, such a fantastical
poet wording of our imagination
carrying us to thought pathways
we never knew we were capable of
I believe dreams, are simultaneously
irrelevant and consequential
they\'re often a projection
of the things we notice but keep
repressed
or, that we dwell-on relentlessly
it\'s always, what we see in them
that defines their relevance..
but purely as a reading experience
this was such a wonderful poetic delight
thank you! dear cherished Poet
