This is an Ode about Iran. The Persian Gulf holds 60% of the world’s oil reserves (line 2). The Persian culture is blessed by beautiful poetry. Luxurious rugs and lush gardens (line 3). Most homes lack tables and chairs because people sit on the ground (line 4). Alongside DR Congo, North Korea and Saudi Arabia- Iran is a hub for sexual trafficking (line 6). The Persian Cat is one of the world’s oldest breeds (line 10). The western Nose has become the desired Nose shape of young Iranian women making it a hub for Nose-jobs (line 12). Next to oil is Carpet exportation and has in one time produced the world’s largest handmade carpet for a Mosque in the U.A.E with a football field size (line 17). The Yoghurt is also called “Persian Milk” and considered a miracle food, used to treat ulcers, relieve sunburn and even prolong life (line 18). Poetry holds a special place in Iranian culture. All Iranians can recite lines from famous Persian poems (line 20).

He joins the league of the oldest continuous civilization and keeps three out of every five of the globe’s underground crude. Typified by a way of life resting on three luxurious pillows and the system of most of its homes void of tables and chairs. But a little cruel, he is to his helpless womb bearers as is he alongside three other friends a leading trader of trafficking sex with a sharp increase in the number of children becoming part of its service providers in recent times confirming his reputation as one of the worst hands for a girl to be born. His exotic pride lies on the rare breed of the Persian Cat popularly known to promote and boost the gender-change operation, as he is also crowned “the nose-job capital of the world”. In cavier, pistachios and saffron, he is a competing global producer; having the only condom merchandise factory in the entire middle east. He converts his plague of over a million foreign refugees into sustainable development built on cheap labour. Carpet exportation uniquely sits second in his earnings and finds a miracle food in his special Persian milk. “Paradise” was coined from a word of his mouth and poetry epitomizes the beauty of the cultural heritage; of his identity which was a one time world power and spreading empire.
