As I "Remember" My "Childhood" ..
The "Very" Essence of "Innocence" ..
From The "Streets" of Tehran ..
To The "Slopes" Along "Shemran" ..
I Remember My "Childhood" Very "Well" ..
I "Ask" Myself ..
Through "Depths" Of My "Soul" ..
"What" Happened ..
To The "Iran" That We "Knew" ..
As A "Child" ..
I Have "Much" Fond "Memories" ..
The "Love" Of Our "Family" ..
The "Protection" and "Security" ..
My "Grand Mother" ..
My "Aunts" ..
"Uncles" ..
"Cherishing" Every "Moment" ..
"Revolution" or "No" Revolution ..
The "Love" That "Binds" Us ..
"Is" Always The "Same" ..
The "Wonderful" Culture of Our "Land" ..
"Instilled" That "Within" Us ..
As An "Iranian" ..
I Have "Never" Been ..
"Ashamed" Of Who "I" Am ..
I "Never" Considered ..
Such "Transgressions" As They Are "Today" ..
As "Part" Of "My" Soul ..
In My Very "Heart" ..
As An "Iranian" ..
I Always "Felt" ..
Much "Love" ..
"Respect" ..
And,
"Gratitude" ..
For "Who" I "Was" ..
The "Anomaly" Of These "Mullahs" ..
Was "Always" ..
"Foreign" To "Me" ..
"My" Greatest "Hopes" Are ..
That "We" As "Iranians" ..
"Never" Lose ..
That "Essence" ..
"Mullahs" Come and Go ..
"Shahs" are "Toppled" and "Re-appointed" ..
But "In" Our "Hearts" ..
We "Should" Never "Lose" ..
That "Beautiful" ..
"Most" Wonderful ..
"Quality" ..
And, "Finally" ..
I May Live in US For another 100 years ..
But at My "Very" Core ..
I am an "Iranian" ..
"Proud" ..
"Grateful" ..
"Ever Palpable" ..
And,
With "Reverence" ..
