INJA KOJAST INJA IRAN AST SARZAMINE MANO TO
Today is Friday June 19, 2009.
Tomorrow is Saturday.
Tomorrow is a decisive day.
Tonight, peoples cries are louder and more forceful than the previous nights.
Where is this place ?
Where is this place that all its doors have been shut ?
Where is this place were people have only God left to reach out to ?
Where is this place that every night the roars of Allah-o Akbar becomes more intense ?
Every day I wait for the night to arrive to see if the Allah-o Akbars are going to get louder.
I am shivering. I wonder if God is shaking too.
Where is this place that we are helplessly stuck in ?
Where is this place that nobody rushes to our aid ?
Where is this place that only with our silence we're reaching our voice out to the world ?
Where is this place that the blood of the young is spilled, and the people pray in the streets for them ?
They pray on their spilled blood.
Where is this place that its people are blatantly called thugs and thieves ?
Where is this place ? Do you want to know ?
It's Iran. This is your and my land. This is Iran.
