The Unintentional Martyr












A Remembrance of Neda
The world never knew you

beyond those final moments.

Your martyrdom unintentional,

the blood far too real.

The air has grown stagnant over

the land as the reigns of power

loosened, then pulled tighter.

A noose choking you

but unwilling to kill you.

What now?

Your rest eternal,

the struggle never ending.

When will the wind return?
