REMEMBERING DECEMBER 7.1959

ghandchi,shariat razavi and bozorgnia,victims of students massacre at tehran university,1953

your way is our way
you are lying in your red blood
on a white road
we cover your bodies
with a green robe
it is your way
that is our way

I REMEMBER WELL FIFTY YEARS AGO ON 16 AZAR 1338/DECEMBER 7,1959,WHEN AS A FRESHMAN MEDICAL STUDENT,I HELD HANDS WITH THE OTHER STUDENTS AND MARCHED DOWN THE STREETS OF UNIVERSITY OF TEHRAN.THIS WAS TO COMMEMORATE THE LIFE OF THREE STUDENTS:GHANDCHI,SHARIAT RAZAVI AND BOZORGNIA WHO WERE SHOT BY MEMBERS OF SHAH'S MERCENARIES.THIS DEMONSTRATION WAS PEACEFUL WHILE WE CHANTED SLOGANS,ALTHOUGH MY FRIEND BAHMAN WITH SOME OF THE SOON TO BE REVIVED NATIONAL FRONT MEMBERS WERE ARRESTED BUT RELEASED THE NEXT DAY.

I DID NOT THINK OF THESE DAYS THEN,WHEN NO DEMONSTRATION IS CONSIDERED PEACEFUL ANYMORE AND FACES THREATS,ATTACKS,ARRESTS AND COURTS,AT NO MERCY,IF NOT TINGED BY BLOOD LETTING,DUE TO SHOOTING OF A BUNCH OF BARBARIAN BRAINWASHED MERCENARIES.

THOSE DAYS WE WERE READING LOVE POEMS OF FORUGH FAROKHZAD,AHMAD SHAMLU AND SIMIN BEHBEHANI ,AND NOW AS WE STILL READING THEM, THEIR TONE HAS CHANGED CONSIDERABLY.IT IS ALL ABOUT TUMULT AND CLAMOR NOW.IT IS A LIVING IMAGE OF A NEW GENERATION WHO ARE SEARCHING FREEDOM.

STOP ALL THESE TUMULT AND CLAMOR

DON'T TAKE IT ALL TO DIRT AND BLOOD

DON'T DO SOMETHING TO MAKE

THE PEOPLE,SOBBING AND MOURNING.

from : SIMIN BEHBEHANI'S POEM "DO NOT THROW MY SOIL TO THE WIND",

TEHRAN,JUNE 2009

RAISE YOUR FLAG!

Dr.Ramin Pour Andarjani,M.D.,(1362-1388)

RAISE YOUR FLAG

WHEN POPPY OF THE WIND

SINGS WITH ROAR OF RIVER.

THE MEN OF "NO"

BRINGING NIGHTS OF LIGHT

TO THE CITY

TILL FRESH AIR

OPENS WINDOWS OF BELIEF

THEY HAVE THEIR LOVE FOR THE EARTH

LATELY FUTILE .

THE MEN OF "NO"

GOING THEIR WAY

WOUNDED

TO GOLGOTHA

AND BREATHE

A NEW SOUL

IN CITY'S BODY

TO BRING ABOUT

DANCES OF FIRE AND BLOOD.

from:SILENTLY,poems of 1355-1359,Moj Book,Tehran 1360/1981

Also appeared in:Contemporary Mazandaran Poetry,Ed;A.Emadi,Farhangkadeh Sari 1371/1992

NOTE:I wrote this poem in streets of Tehran ,where people were raising flags in 1357

for a popular movement and revolution.

The English version is being published for

DR.RAMIN POUR ANDARJANI,M.D.
another victim in
Revolution Green.

F.S.

IS SHAH STILL THERE?

IS SHAH STILL THERE?
THAT HIS DEEP POCKET
NEVER FILLED
AND HIS THIRST FOR BLOOD
NEVER SATISFIED.
IS SHAH SRILL THERE?
WITH HIS ENTOURAGE OF CORRUPTION
PLAYING
GAME OF GREED
AND HIS CLOWNS FARTHING
FOR HIS ENTERTAINMENT.
IS SHAH STILL THERE?
THAT HIS CACHE WOMAN
STILL LYING
EVEN TO HERSELF
AND BIASED,BIGOTED AND DIRTY BIGGERS
STILL
RUBBING HER FEET
TO PEEL OFF HER PAIN
OF THE PAST.
AND MULTINATIONAL VULTURES
STILL SITTING AROUND
HIS SPREAD
MUNCHING OIL AND GAS
SUCKING ON BLOOD.
IS SHAH STILL THER?
THAT YOUNG PEOPLE
WOMEN AND MEN
POURING INTO STREETS
CHANTING SLOGANS
FOR FREEDOM
AND SHOUTING:
DEATH TO DICTATORS.

I AM THE PEOPLEندا

WHERE WERE THEY SEEN

LAST IN THEIR DREAMS?

UNDER THE DESERT SUN

OR SPREAD OF SUMMER?

HE LIKED TO LIVE

IN A BLUE BUBBLE

HE WAS LOST

IN THE TEARS OF MOTHERS.

AND THEIR SONS

WHO WERE FLYING

WITH THE SUN

ON THE ROAD OF RAGE

AND WRATH.

A LONELY BEACON

FROM FARAWAY

SANG IN SORROWS...

 FROM RED THROAT OF SOHRAB

TO A MIRAGE BEYOND THE BORDER

I AM FLAG OF THE WORDS OF DREAMS
