It was in June two thousand and nine
When the Iranian nation rose.
Inhuman policies of a murderous regime
United millions came to oppose.
They marched in orderly throngs
Shouting slogans, singing rebellious songs.
Regime's goons killed many the numbers untold
When officials said a hundred we multiplied it tenfold.
They shot young men and women at point blank
At the horror of their crimes our hearts sank.
They called those they arrested foreign spies
They never seem to run out of shameless lies.
As the regime tried to stop the revolt's tide
Marchers turned out in millions spreading it nationwide.
There was no fear of guns, arrests or beating
At times we watched reactionary forces retreating.
The regime must go people are saying
The price of freedom with their own blood they're paying.
People's revolts have just begun
And evil forces are on the run.
They may stay in power a day or two longer
But the opposition is getting stronger.
And soon the regime will be no longer.
And soon the regime will be no longer.

Green is the color of...
by eroonman on Mon May 24, 2010 04:39 PM PDTGreen is the color of envy, jealousy, and inexperience.
Green is the color of Islam.
Green makes time go by quickly, a year already past and nothing, but
nothing, and none but zero change,
Bad Green!
Bad Green-eyed monster!
Green the inexperienced, Green the untested, and Green the untrained,
Greenhorns, novices, trainees, and beginners,
Green around the gills, a pale, sickly, and weak green.
A vomitous Green.
A useless, pointless, disorganized, naive, and gullible Green Movement,
A Bowel Movement! Worthy of a grand FLUSH indeed!
Turquoise on the other hand,
Turquoise is sweet
Turquoise is feminine and full of lively sophistication,
Turquoise is the in-between. The color of unbounded never-ending sky and
sea.
Turquoise is pure de-veiled feminine Iran, de-moslemified, de-defiled.
Turquoise is beauty.
Thanks!

They may stay in power a day or two longer
But the opposition is getting stronger.
And soon the regime will be no longer.
