For WOMAN
Created by Hediyeh Safari
For WOMAN, LIFE, LIBERTY
For dancing in the alleys and street
For the fear of getting caught kissing
For my sister, my brother and unity
For all the times who tried to change their minds and stale beliefs
For the loss of pride
For poverty
For the dream of just a normal life
For you and me
For all the children who are starving for a loaf of bread
For the greed of politics and all the lies they spread
For this command economy
For all the mass polluted air we breathe
For all the litter in the streets and all the dying trees
For Piruz and all the animals who suffer from elimination
For all the cats and dogs who love us without no conditions
For the non-stop crying
For the image of repatriation of this moment
For other tears that seem to never end
For all the images that keep on turning in my heads
For a simple smile to last a little while
For the students
For the future generations fighting for their time
For empty promises a heaven in the afterlife
For all the imprisonment of intellects and beautiful minds
For all the babies who were born and for the ones who died
For all the times you told the truth and all the time you lied
For all the speeches that we heard about a million times
For all this hollow chants
For all the shots and shelters that were sold to megaton
For just a glimpse of a peaceful life
For the rising of the sun after an endless night
For the mental illness
For all the pills we pop just to get some sleep
For men, fatherland, prosperity
For the sake of the girl that wished she was a boy
For All Mankind and our country, Iran
For all the boys and girls who never knew equality
For woman…
For Life…
For liberty…
