Viva la protest- IT TAKES SOME COURAGE

Oh!  send in the Battalion

There seems to be a Rebellion

Make good use of the Cannon

I think they number in the Million

They seem to be growing into a billion

Oh, Sardar, I can only see one  buying a bag of onion

And a young man riding  pillion

I guess they know how to put on a show

cry out loud and then they're a no-show

it must be comfy watching the protest

yelling its the regime we detest

saying they care about our Neda

whilst flipping channels from Amrika

So based on Chinese calendar & zodiacs

We start 2010 slow but strong like an Ox.

In 2011 we're strong, fast and quick with cat like reflexes like a Tiger.

Then by 2012 the stage is set to have Playboy bunnies in Iran! 

Everything is sacred.

Hi Mouse,

     Thank you for the link for the Chinese zodiacs. I know my zodiac, but don't remember the exact sequence of the 12 animals. I am going to mark my calendar for the year of 3000, the year of pig! :O)

thanks,

"Cactus in the Desert"

Lovely poem

Thanks MPD for this beautiful poem. You have even touched the poetic feelings of Sargord although he cannot express them.

Fabulous, MPD

You are so inventive!

Yolanda jaan year 3000 is year of the Pig!

Year 2010 is year of the Ox

Year 2011 is year of the Tiger

Year 2012 is year of the Rabbit

Everything is sacred.

Hi! Sargord,

      It is funny that you mentioned the year of 3000 in your post. I am "touched" by your loyalty to IRI, but why do you worry if IRI still exists in 3000? Are you going to be around in 3000?

"Cactus in the Desert"

MPD jaan with your links you gave new meaning to "new poetry"!

Everything is sacred.

MPD

Your talent in poetry is great.  Sad Afarin! 

"your end is approaching"

So do you think the IRI will somehow dissolve or be overthrown in 2010? 2011? 2012? 3000? What?

Is this based on actual circumstance or just hope? 

Holly jan when brain turns into mush

that's a good time to resort to dreams! :o)  i've had a looong day and am getting bad akhlaagh now so I'm sending me to bed.

I hope things clear up between you and MPD.  I have never been disrespected by him.

Monda jan che vaghteh khabeh???

Beshin hala tazeh jamemoon jam'eh. Marge mikhad bekhooneh manam mikham Arabi beraghsam. What wonderful talent of yours willyou be bestowing upon us? :)

And I'd like to declare that I have no reason to think MPD is a male chauvenist as he has often inferred I do.

Marge you never fail

and again I LOVE YOU!  You seriously crack me up. I sit here and laugh out loud every time I read one of your comments. Thanks.

And you are welcome to dispute my comments, anytime. 

Holly jan in that case

I'll wait for MPD's explanation on your assumption (before I fall asleep). 

I don't think we do

Dear Holly,

I doubt we have different concepts of respect, which is why the comment surprised me. I didn't make my comment to dispute what you said. I just wanted to provide my own experience :) He's a man. They're all dogs anyway. See Parchin's blog on that note.

Respect

A very special poem, MPD, thank you.

Not to be evasive with regard to you asking the question, but I believe MPD knows what I mean. And if he doesn't then I was wrong in my assumption below, which was and remains sincere.

Marge aziz: Either one of us missed something crucial or we just have very different takes on what constitutes 'respect' or lack thereof . But I love you anyway ;)

MPD has always been respectful

and supportive of women, especially here on Iranian.com.

Holly jan

what do you mean by MPD's new found respect for Iranian women?!

Very original indeed

MPD what does Holly mean by your "new found respect for Iranian women"?! 

.......

 Hi! MPD,

      Thank you for your very special poem with visual aid (hyper-links). It is so unique. It has made your poem come to life! My favorite picture is the lady with her beautiful and brave daughter on her shoulders!

My favorite verses are:

Four women are walking

Send in a platoon

thanks,

MPD jan

Congratulations on your new found respect for Iranian women. Don't let your short attention span get the better of you on this one.

شیرین سخن هستید و شیرین دست !

تشریف بیاورید، شام در خدمت باشیم. شیرین پلو نیست اما ماهی‌ کباب برقرار است، صدای استاد گلپا هم میاید.

سایه حضرت عالی‌ کم نشود، نفستان همیشه گرم باشد.

merci

Thank you Marge,

I am well aware of the great sacrifices so many Iranian women are making, but unfortunately my attention span is only one page long, two at the most.

Unique poetry

I didn't want this poem to end. There are so many other women with stories.

This is so cool. A fusion of URL and poetry. Very creative. I've never seen poetry in this medium. You're the first! 

Thank you MPD, another great poem.
