Chanda Katonga Poet Free verse

Iran Will Rise

Iran,
do not
fear.

You are
a civilization
seven thousand
years old.

Before
America
was born,
you existed.

Before
Europe
awakened
to a new
age,

you gave
the world
innovation.

While kingdoms
were still
finding
their paths,
you built
roads.

You gave
us
algebra
in mathematics.

You gave
us
The Canon
of Medicine,

used
throughout
Europe
and Asia
for centuries.

Your scholar,
Al-Biruni,
accurately
measured
the radius
of the
Earth.

It was
your mystic
and philosopher,
Zoroaster,

who gave
the world
the early
concepts
of good
and evil.

Rumi,
the great
poet
and Sufi,
walked
upon
your soil,

and continues
to inspire
the world.

When we
look
into science,
we bow
our heads
and say,

thank you
to the
great Persian
thinkers.

No one
can destroy
you,
for you
are
the beginning
and the
end.

You are
the Alpha
and the
Omega.

You are

now

rising.
