Gershon Wolf Poet Rhyme

In Shi'ite Eyes

     	In Shi’ite Muslim quarters
           No matter that tens of thousands of lives he aborted
               The mourning for the Ayatollah Khomeini
                 Region-wide, worldwide ~ knows no borders
               

         In Shi’ite eyes the Ayotollah was an inspiration
            renowned for kindness region-wide
                Patient leader of a fledgling superpower nation

Tom Gershon Wolf March 11, 2026 at 9:30 PM Yep, although I hear his son is even worse... Hopefully the son's lack of leadership experience will cost Iran dearly in the battles ahead. 'Taint gonna be as easy as DJT thinks. Iran, backed by the Sino-Soviet henchmen, is a formidable foe.
