A Cloudy Night

But on a cloudy night in Iran, Joseph realized
RatheMaterialism is one of the deadly sins.
Now people don't even care for their kins.

r than wasting time with his good for nothin' friends
He should help someone to meet their ends

Determined to do something moral
He tried to help women in their pursuit as equal

That's how he met Christine
As they went for a stroll
He discovered rather than flesh and bones
She also had a soul

The protests gained momentum at Mashhad
"Death to the dictator" some of them shouted
Voices should be silenced Supreme Leader Ali commanded
This is how both met their end

Future may look dark now
With no light beyond the horizon
But they didn't die in vain
As women of Iran had a small victory on their way
Now they could enjoy football in "public"
It may seem trivial to some
But it could be the seed from the tree will come.
