Terror
Oppression and terror
Throughout the land
Blood on the streets
Blood on their hands
Hijabs in chains
In god’s name
Bullets from snipers
In the vale of shame

For all the brave men and women standing up for freedom in the streets of Iran.
The oppressive corrupt power of religion.
May they not simply replace one set of despots with another.
I can’t even watch the news these days, it’s heartbreaking.
What with Trump and ICE, Ukraine and Iran, the world is in a mess. But I take the view that we have to engage and try to heal it.
