Poem by Armenida Qyqja

There’s no other way

Women sacrificed themselves first for you, Iran,

They tried to lift the veils from your eyes,

To heat up your frozen blood

By the fear of that fifty year old whip…

They tried to wake you up

Before they could wrap around your throat

The rope of poverty, too…

Now the rope is on its last knot

And you’re out on the streets, drowning in your own blood,

Conscient at last, that there’s no other way,

Freedom always has a very high price…
