Iranian Oppression

 RANDOM JACK POETRY HOUR: GLOBAL POLITICS


Iranian Oppression

 

If you must kill your own people

To maintain hold on power

Your authority is illegitimate

Your power is brutality

and will not hold

 

Even in a religious dictatorship

All power proceeds from the people

When you lose their support

Your days are numbered

 

When the day of reckoning arrives

You will fall with the first wind

And you will pay the price

Of your relentless cruelty

 

It is written in the stars

In the mountains and the sea

The payback is proportionate

To the depth of the disease
