Iran Hair Revolution Poem by Nassy Fesharaki

Iran hair revolution

In a film festival
Some actors of the world,
Italians and French; many more
Sympathized with the girls in Iran…

Took scissors,
Cut their hair.

I think of the Parker,
Cynthia,
And the myths,
As well as the history
Of great and ancient old Iran…

Farangis, a Turkic Princess
Married the Iranian Siavash,
Good looking man of peace.

Powerful, crazy, his father
Was king and risk taker…

Two fathers, dreamers,
Enemies forever…

Long after we see that Cynthia
Is married to Peta Nocona…

She was White, Christian,
He, savage Comanche, pagan.

Both husbands were killed by
Families of their wives,
And women cut their hair! ! !

Today's fights, resistance
Seem to be the exact same
In behaving, movements.

Wonder if girls, women
Who brave and cut hair
Know of past character!
