MAHSA was killed young;
And the blood moon died so soon
Woman Man wake up!

- Comment from author about the poem: This haiku was written about the killing of \r\nMahsa Amini in the hands of the “morality police”\r\nfor loose hijab. Her name means the moon (like the moon.) This sparked the new wave of the human rights movement in Iran with the slogan of \r\nWoman Life Freedom.

Mahsa has been my screen saver since her death. The inhumanity of the regime is all the more tragic given how beautiful and brave the people of Iran are. Thank you for this little epitaph. Courage.
Thank you for your sentiments and support.
This speaks volumes
and needs more air time ..
I sincerely hope many others shall now make their way here in the wake I hope I have created .. Neville
Too many are paying a price-Thank you for your awareness…
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!
Thank you for your attention, this is near the anniversary of her killing and the
Woman Life Freedom uprising, poet and brother in pen…
Fantastic as always.
Thank you for visiting an event from last year and things never went back despite all odds
