RANDOM JACK POETRY HOUR: GLOBAL POLITICS
Iran Speaks
Despite all the horrors we have heard
In their defense of Palestine
The Iranian people give their word
The cause of peace is on their minds
They have chosen a moderate leader
Who wants relations with the west
They say he’s a true believer
The path of peace is always best
He wants to ease the harsh restrictions
On the moral code for all
He has expressed a strong conviction
That some restraints should fall
We can’t expect a lot of change
The ayatollah is still in charge
But the furniture is rearranged
Basic change is always hard
At least it is a forward step
Away from war and oppression
For once the hard line overslept
Letting go their hard obsessions
