Nika Sings

 RANDOM JACK POETRY HOUR: GLOBAL POLITICS


Nika Sings

 

She was only seventeen

A world yet to explore

Killed by Iranian agents

Who wanted to even the score

 

The price to pay for protest

In Iran can be severe

To the agents she was a threat

To her family she was dear

 

Nika Shakarami sang

In her shy but courageous way

So they decided to silence her

Yet her voice is heard today

 

When will these leaders learn

You cannot lead by brute force

Instead of creating martyrs

You should plot a different course
