On Freedom
A cry for Freedom,
Reflected, refracted, upon broken, battered bodies,
Bearing witness to the struggle,
“Because of my sister, your sister, our sisters…”
Womanhood aspiring to its rightful place,
Fighting for its roots from an ancient space,
For release, for relief, from social bondage.
“Because of yearning for an ordinary life…”
Rooting for change, but not in exchange.
“Because of a feeling of peace after this long night of disease …’
Our ‘Cry for Freedom’
For Motherland, BARAYE IRAN!
