for Mahsa Amini

“O woman
who is not separate from us
who is chained beaten strangled
this song is for you

O woman 
who is not separate from the homeland
who is oppressed silenced persecuted
this fury is for you

O woman
who rages against this regime
who marches resists protests 
this prayer is for you

O woman
whose wild tresses 
are tied with a noose
this cry is for you
we rise together for you 

O Mahsa
from your blood
poppies will grow
this revolution is for you”

Kamand Kojouri
