War for Humanity

Light
shall overcome
darkness.

Iran,
you now fight
for humanity.

And those
who terrorize
the innocent
shall one day
face judgment.

If today
Gaza Strip
and Lebanon
are abandoned,

then tomorrow
the fire
will spread
across the Middle East.

And after that,
toward every
weak nation
upon the Earth.

War grows
when fear
remains silent.

The powerful
use violence
and intimidation
against civilians,
while calling it
security.

But suffering
always remembers
the hands
that created it.

Iran,
do not surrender.

The spirit
of resistance
still lives
within humanity.

No matter
how dark
the night becomes,
you believe
victory
shall come.

Just as
Jesus
overcame evil,

and Muhammad
stood against oppression,

you now believe
that darkness
must also fall.

And the innocent souls
lost through war
still cry out
through history.

Do not fear
those who appear
powerful.

For many men
hide weakness
behind weapons,
and cowardice
behind pride.

They pretend
to be strong.

They pretend
to be courageous.

But fear
often speaks
the loudest.

Iran,
remember this—

“The devil
is a liar.”

Fight
for dignity.

Fight
for memory.

Fight
for humanity.

I like your honesty, Chandra. 'For many men hide weakness behind weapons,' Sadly, so true today. Only Jesus has the answer.
