Poem about Reformers by Arash Kamangeer

Oh, you Reformers of Persia
Who call the youth to the streets,
Where are your children tonight
As you plot behind the scenes?

How much blood will spill
As you fight for Persia’s soil?
How long should they chant
Before you take Persia’s oil?

Don’t be fooled, you Reformers
The slogans are nothing new
They’ve been aimed at others
And one day they’ll be aimed at you.

You promised great changes
As you schemed for Persia’s mantle
But you too may steal
Everything you can handle.

Then one day you too will feel
The rage of the oppressed.
Remember, it’s not you who the youth supports
It’s who they’re against.

So be cautious, you Reformers
When you incite the young.
They’re tongue may lash at you too
When all is said and done.
