A new wind blows from the east
Extinguishes the fires of sacked cities
Awakes murdered victims
Wipes the tears
Liberate nations from slavery
Brings us the friendship feast
King of the world
Great king
Legitimate king
King of Babylon, Sumer, Akkad, Anshan…
King of the Land
King of the four rims of the earth
King of kings
Brings
No thought of forcing conquered people into a single mould
God made him so bold
He leaves unchanged the institution of each kingdom
Gives us the true freedom
He has a policy of keeping all gods sweet, just in case
Founder of Persian Empire
Liberator of the Jews
His grace
He promotes a form of religious tolerance
Respects the traditions, customs and religions of the nations
On balance
Each is free to accept it, and if anyone of you reject
I shall never resolve on war!
I just respect
I do follow him

Persian Nightingale sings songs of peace and freedom to follow the wisdom of the East. A very apt meterical message in the present context with allusion to history.
A new kind of poem here, very well written, describing a historical and at the same time timeless and real hope. A fine work! 10
