The witness
I watched the Shahed drones
Flying along the coast
In the Gulf's misty haze
Like grey birds in
Seasonal swirl.
I never doubted
Where they were going
And why?
Since the war began
Burning Iran with jungle fever
Their multiple operations
Darkening the sky
With oil rains blanketing the sky,
I knew it was an existential threat
And our children would grow in bondage
If deterrence failed and that
Was the message of Shahed drones.
