#EyesOnIran
by Roxana Darvish

Remember the pain,
Remember the sorrow.
All the false promises
Of a brighter tomorrow

Grief of losing your loved ones,
And all the smiles you've ever faked
Laughter you've shared with people,
While your heart deeply ached.

Corruption
by Abhinandan Sharma

Some take bottles

remain steadfast and bury with quicksand these vices —
fingernails and beaks, hoofs and blades
and other instruments of hardness.

Who's Fault Is This ?
by Abhinandan Sharma

Socialise or perish in time

Be the leader not the sheep Don’t give in, don’t retreat Your mind is yours to command Not the technologies in your hand
