Iran Today Poem by Bijay Kant Dubey

They wanting freedom,
Demonstrating,
Protesting

Protests flare,
Rock,
Erupt and engulf the area.

Questioning
Why bullets and shells
For women and daughters?

Why so hard on stand,
So patriarchal and orthodox,
Why can you not liberalize yourself?

Why to be bigoted,
Fanatical
And conservative?

Women's Movement
Women the torch-bearers of,
Fighting for their justice and cause.

The civil rights defenders,
The human rights activists,
All keeping a vigil on.
