Chanda Katonga Poet Free verse

Iran the Great

Iran,
your glory
is now known
by the world.

You stood
against two
nuclear powers,
United States
and Israel.

For years,
America bullied you.

But in silence,
you prepared yourself
for danger.

And when
the war came,
you fought back
like a tiger.

What your enemies
never understood
was this—

The spirit
of the Persian people
was forged
through thousands
of years
of history.

Empires came.
Empires fell.

But Persia
endured.

Today, Iran,
many see you
as a hero.

You showed
the weak nations
that determination
can challenge
great power.

You possessed
terrible power
beneath the ground,
yet wisdom
stopped your hand.

They called you
a terrorist state.

But history
will remember
who brought war
to your door first.

And now
the world watches
as history changes.

For Iran
stood alone
against powerful nations
and forced
the world
to think again
about power,
resistance,
and destiny.

For every empire
that worships power
eventually learns
that pride alone
cannot protect
the soul
of a nation.
