Are you ready for a new beat
since Adam just met the real Eve
Prisons were made for these two
since they’re dancing in the street
Sunshine from her hair, shines on
across the nation
He came to love her and lets her lead him
as they’re dancing in the street
Heavens sing across the nations
as big men try to calm the tensions
He feels each time they kiss
as they’re giving life to the streets
The inside is outside
the outside is inside
Keep shouting it out
‘cause they’re dancing in the streets
Their dreams come from near and far
we’re invited to witness it all
As Dr King heals their heart
If they keep dancing in the streets

- Comment from author about the poem: Couple in Tehran receives 10 years of prison for defiantly dancing in the street and posting the video. I was listening to the Martha Reeves &the Vandellas singing “Dancing in the Street” when I wrote this.

Yes, those cruelly patrolled, sterile streets paved with fear and now blood and tears. It is unreal... thanks for not forgetting. He lets her lead him... beautiful and painful image. Women can be leaders to a better day.
Thank you for reading and noticing dear poet. Indeed I have not forgotten and neither have the hundreds and thousands of people protesting (and dancing) in the streets of the world against brutality in Iran.
I love reading this, many changes made, so much more needs to change. I'm a person that studies the Bible and without sounding preachy, there is going to be big changes made in the near future.
Thank you for sharing this excellent piece of art.
Thank you for your spiritual and artistic insight dear reader-I’m looking forward to reading your poems.
Heart touching
Thank you for your attention and comments about my poems dear sir
Beautiful read, Parisab. Loved it. Not in the same vein, but you may like my "A Memorial Day Trubute"
I have no known prejudices .. except maybe that of utter contempt for any form of injustice .. and I'm opposed to corruption too .. with my hand on my heart .. I am so glad that you wrote this but sorry you ever had to .. Neville
The pen is much more effective in this battle-thank you for being an empathic and alert citizen of this world, poet friend-
