Ghandi Crickets
ayatollah khomeini –
told people to –
incite a protest,
to go onto the roof tops
you know, nonviolent protest,
and scream um
god is great –
~ allah akbar
and to scream it only at night – -
- -
- so that –
when
people were
were listening
it would be like crickets - -
- the crickets at night,
and just hearing, and that feeling like –
people – joining in, and,
communicating with each other -
writing down
like their –
their nation’s –
diary
of what was happening
