Hi! MPD,

   Welcome back! Thank you for posting the English version of your Farsi poem! I really like this stanza:

***************** 

It could be said
Human's life is not cheap 
It's worthy
More valuable than any treasure in the deep Earth 
It's worthy 
Irreplaceable in the world

****************

Lives are really cheapened under the IRI. Among the 5 executed, the teacher/social worker had only 7 minutes of trial....IRI refuses to tell the relatives where the grave is and IRI also arrested the victim's relatives. That is too much! I really have problem reconciling the image of a teacher (Farzad Kamangar) with an image of a terrorist:

I always admire great teachers a lot!

Your blog photo is the epitome of IRI's cruelty! When I get on you-tube.....it seems to me that all the hanging videos are shot in Iran.....no where else....absolutely sad!

Thank you for the following touching stanza:

******************** 

It could be said
It could be done 
A child could be embraced 
And love lessons could be learned from the child 
Seeds of love could be spread in Moghan plains 
Love could be promoted 
Hate reprimanded 
Few words of advice to anger 
Every night till dawn 
Made love to basic civility 
Brought a child to this world, called Goodness 

******************

Thank you for mentioning "love" 4 times in one stanza! Love is really cool! 

Thank you for sharing!

Please take care! 

Very hearfelt MPD!

Thanks, You are such a talanted writer & poet.

I was listening to this piece of music while reading your lovely and lyrical poem..Excellent!

My favorite lines:

میشود حرفی زد
کاری کرد
میشود کودکی را در آغوش کشید
و از او درس محبت آموخت
میشود در دشت مُغان بذر محبت پاشید
میشود عشق را ترویج داد
نفرت را توبیخ
خشم را چند کلام  نصیحت
میشود هر شب تا دم صبح
عشق ورزید به بنیانی مدنی
بچه ای آورد به زمین، نامش خوبی

Beautiful!

Beautiful, hopeful, and touching. Where would we be without the promise of the eventual victory of human spirit over darkness, life over death, and hope over sorrow?

Yes, it can be done.

It could be done

.

.

It could be said
It could be said sky is blue
And Earth is round
And there are deep emotions within each individual
It could be said freedom is elixir
Equality is certainty

It could be said the mother's suffering is for real
Not imagination
Sky is blue
Earth is curved
And someone's imprisoned child awaits execution

It could be said
Human's life is not cheap
It's worthy
More valuable than any treasure in the deep Earth
It's worthy
Irreplaceable in the world

It could be said life has a beginning
An uneven path
It’s circulating, like the wind
Rebellious, like angry waves on rocks
Like a stormy night

It could be said
It could be done
A child could be embraced
And love lessons could be learned from the child 
Seeds of love could be spread in Moghan plains
Love could be promoted
Hate reprimanded
Few words of advice to anger
Every night till dawn
Made love to basic civility
Brought a child to this world, called Goodness
 
Teachers could be taught acceptance
Executioners could be taught to love
Kindness is the lesson learned from hatred
Rocks of Stoning could be brought together
And a garden be built filled with plants
Swords turned into plows
Mercy nurtured, clemency made way of life

It could be said, it’s easy to hate
Forgiveness, hard work

It could be said
It could be done

سیاف مجره رنگ شمشیر
انداخته بر قلاده ٔ شیر.
