Long live monarchists
A thanksgiving

November 29, 2002
The Iranian

On this Thanksgiving, I give thanks to the weak for they teach about strength,

I give thanks to the villains, for they teach about right from wrong,

I give thanks to the heroes, for they teach about making choices.

On this Thanksgiving, I give thanks to the dead, for they pointed to life,

I give thanks to the dwellers of darkness, for they teach about light,

I give thanks to the jailers, for they teach about freedom.

On this Thanksgiving, I give thanks to the discourteous, for they teach about civility,

I give thanks to the liars, for they teach about truth,

I give thanks to the lawless, for they teach about order.

On this Thanksgiving, I give thanks to the haters, for they teach about love,

I give thanks to the ungrateful, for they teach about gratitude,

I give thanks to the cowards, for they teach us about courage.

On this Thanksgiving, I give thanks to the teachers, for what they did not teach,

I give thanks to the leaves, for protecting the roots,

I give thanks to the monarchists, for teaching about the republic.
