I agree about the need for setting up a new organization

I agree with you where you write in your comment: "and I think we need to set up an new organisation independent of these political groups and make sure the organisation itself is managed in a fairly democratic way."  I will check the website for  London Green.   

Thanks for your comments

Thanks for your comments Anahid.

The message that I am trying to get across is not one that make excuses for some of the terrible things that some of these groups have done and in fact some have terrible reputations as we all know. I think most groups share one common attribute and that is lack of understanding of democracy. Almost all of them have self appointed leaders for life which I think will continue even if they win the political power when gaining high positions in Iran. In fact I am trying to say most of these political parties have bad reputations and should stop having a go at each other. I am quite involved in London Green movement and with this poem I am trying to stop members of various groups fighting each other and wasting the much energy needed to fight the most backward regime in the world. As for which existing or emerging political party is credible enough to win the support of the people is something that we need to debate in seperate political forums and I am all for that. I do not affiliate to any political party and I think we need to set up an new organisation independent of these political groups and make sure the organisation itself is managed in a fairly democratic way. This is what we are trying to do in London. please see the newly set up website for  London Green. 

nice poem but it is hard to not criticize some groups

This is a very nice poem with an important message.  However, some of us have had our sensibilities offended by some of the groups that you mention. So we have to train ourselves if we want to heed your call.
