Tragic Iran

"The Khomeini Perversion"

By: Roxie Howard

The Ayatollah transformed women into less citizens

See the sadness in their eyes?

His Basiji proudly beats 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.

Many thanks Roxie. It's very moving.

IT’S A MAN’S WORLD To The End of The End!

IT’S A MAN’S WORLD TO THE END OF THE END —

I am a woman. Simply.

To look at me is a sin — I must be veiled.

To hear my voice is a temptation that must be hushed.

For me to think is a crime so I must not be schooled.

I am to bear it alland die quietly, without complaint.

Only then can I be admitted to the court of God

where I must repose naked on a marble cloud

feed virtuous men succulent grapes pour them wine from golden vats

and murmur songs of love…
