Another Iranian Winter By Roxie Howard

Second Islamic Revolution
Another Iranian Winter

I shiver for the people of the nation
In the winter of Mullah occupation
Ice-cold snakes of abomination
Spawning drifts of trepidation
A second Islamic revolution
A second winter of pollution
A halo and a final solution
Citizens die by cold execution
Basiji icicles pierce family life
Injustice coldly stones a young wife
Citizens swing from cranes stone cold
In the name of God we are told
A blizzard of extremist obsession
Brings drifts of press suppression
And the chill of forced confessions
Freezing solid freedom of expression
A biting wind rages
Citizens kept in cages
As winter marries the dark ages
On the frost bitten Mullah stages
The blizzard of Mullah dismay
Brought icy perversion and decay
So many good souls led astray
Yet spring shall melt it all away
