Freedom

Maziar Karim, Tehran, Iran

 

Dedicated to the brave men and women in Iran

it will break

sickle handle of gardening 

that wants stems the thought

in the same size 

we 

although short

although high 

We only want the brush of the wind of peace

and finger of freedoms 

that never

it will not stroke a trigger
