Neda – Iranian Girl's Death Could Be Rallying Cry For Iranian Freedom

Posted by on Jun 22, 2009 | 2 Comments

It is easy for some to say that the U.S. and other countries should stay out of the current volatile political situation in Iran. But after seeing the video of a young Iranian girl named Neda, who was gunned down in the street for no reason, I cannot imagine how anyone with a conscience could not want to get involved. No matter what your political party or your feelings about the Obama presidency, the people of Iran are calling out to the world for assistance.

Over at YouTube they have a homemade video showing the girl after being shot and her dying in the street with what appears to be her father at her side. The video claims that this was a peaceful protest and that Neda was shot by a policeman/militia. In fact on the same page they have a picture of a possible suspect in the killing.

I sincerely hope that the U.S. takes a position on this matter and to support the protesters and not the illegal Iranian government.

    A poem to Neda

    Fleeting
    [adilson silva]
    .
    I don’t know if I go,
    I don’t know if I stay,
    I don’t know if I divide
    Or if I multiply.
    .
    Two steps to front
    Walking in circles.
    Gimme the pleasure of this dance?
    I have been dancing alone!
    .
    Intricate life,
    Of strange braids.
    Where does it begin
    Or does it finish the way?
    .
    So many choices,
    What does the glance lose
    Earthly and holy , temporal,
    It is enough to read the newspaper,
    Video Monitor,
    Crystal Ball
    .
    Numinous destine
    Frugal and passing
    Where is it going to stop?
    In the gesture…
    in the body…
    In the silence
    Which silences
    The words not said
    A cry on Air…
