RANDOM JACK POETRY HOUR: WORLD DEMOCRACY
The Silent Protest
In Tehran they pleaded to the people
To cast their votes in the election
But the people shook their heads
Not to vote was their selection
When you treat the people poorly
When you trample on their rights
When you silence opposition
They will find a way to fight
You took away their right to march
For freedom on the streets
You tortured and abused them
Denied them the right to meet
They will make their feelings known
In the only ways they can
Their silence at the voting booth
Is how they choose to make a stand
You lost the pretense of support
You’ve lost the younger generation
Step aside and let them lead
A new and better nation
