This is inspired by I Am Anaya's "The Argonauts"

Listen to poem:
For Jason and his Argonauts, golden wool was theirs to fleece For the British, Iran's oil was theirs to drill and steal In '53 the West led Iran's democracy into a tyrant's peace Now we call the trouble since all part of God's grand will So many harsh lessons are learned in winter's darkest days Only to be forgotten as we approach a warm September Yet in the annals of time the truth is on display It is incumbent upon us to stop, pause, look and remember

I am here to encourage you to do more recitation, your voice is quite pleasant, I am taken aback by your dedication and agape by the inspired quatrains. There are lessons to be learned in our history, TY for sharing your thoughts, besti, Anaya
