A Crossroads for Iran

Raidoc

 

When missiles fly

The Mullahs lie

They bide their time

To turn the tide

 

Their constant bluster

Now short of luster

For why we ask

No God sent task

 

To build a bomb

With feigned aplomb

Their word to spread

Among the dead

 

They have their place

To find God's grace

Not trample lives

Like stinging hives

 

Fear and temerity

No road to prosperity

But that's what they seek

Control of the meek

 

A proud nation with tales of old

A proud people who once were bold

A history where feats abound

A long lost empire to astound

 

Time for Iranians to now earn

That for which they clearly yearn

Freedoms tenuous flickering light

Now in their grasp in line of sight

    Ideological, political, historical, cultural developmental differences that converge and diverge in chaos. Lovely

      Thanks for the kind words - such a shame this historically rich country has been so downtrodden by its fanatical rulers.

      Nicely written piece for the chance for Iranians to reclaim their country, I feel sadly this will not be the case, it didn't work in Iraq and Afghanistan, they are just the same as they ever are and Syria will follow suit. It takes so much more than bombs to change a culture, enjoyed the read
