"They Dance Alone"Why are there women here dancing on their own?

Why is there this sadness in their eyes?

Why are the soldiers here

Their faces fixed like stone?

I can't see what it is that they dispise

They're dancing with the missing

They're dancing with the dead

They dance with the invisible ones

Their anguish is unsaid

They're dancing with their fathers

They're dancing with their sons

They're dancing with their husbands

They dance alone

They dance alone


It's the only form of protest they're allowed

I've seen their silent faces scream so loud

If they were to speak these words they'd go missing too

Another woman on a torture table

what else can they do

They're dancing with the missing

They're dancing with the dead

They dance with the invisible ones

Their anguish is unsaid

They're dancing with their fathers

They're dancing with their sons

They're dancing with their husbands

They dance alone

They dance alone

One day we'll dance on their graves

One day we'll sing our freedom

One day we'll laugh in our joy

And we'll dancehttp://www.azlyrics.com/ ]

For your mother, and for you, and the many like you:

Tragic Iran

"The Khomeini Perversion"
By: Roxie Howard

The Ayatollah transformed women into less citizens
See the sadness in their eyes?
His Basiji proudly beat mothers in the street
See their hate-filled eyes?
His Special Clerical Court dispenses venom
See its blood-stained fangs?
His Islamic Revolutionary Court is a sham
See injustice reign?
No words can begin to portray
The pain and sorrow of those who have refused to be enslaved


Husbands tortured in the name of Allah
See the wives tears fall like rain?
Fathers slaughtered like animals
See the children weeping for the missing?
Families threatened by State thugs
See the greater harm?
Women beaten in the street just for showing hair
See the blood and bruises all these women bare?
No words can begin to portray
The pain and sorrow of those who have refused to be enslaved

World leaders appease these vile beasts
Legitimizing the abuse of humankind!
Appeasers worldwide minimize the barbarianism
Allowing the slaughter to continue!
The United Nations covers its eyes
Allowing darkness legitimate reign
Christian leaders refuse to condemn
The perverted Islamic extremist sins!
No words can describe the abomination
Of such pain and sorrow imposed upon the Iranian nation.
