Woman is the Manget of Freedom

Reza Farmand

That hard time has passed

When the man sat at the right side of God

That hard time has passed

When the man added his bull to his strength,

His horse to his speed,

And the length of his sword to his height.

*

Now, woman plays the keyboard of the computer

More beautiful than the piano

And with some simple questions

She shakes her beliefs

And throws tyrant gods out of her life

*

Now, if a woman gives her hand to a man

It’s not because she is afraid to fall

It’s because she likes to do so

*

I think there passes lots of highways in woman

Woman is the magnet of freedom

*

With her powerful magnetic body

It’s the woman who has pulled life towards herself

From the battlefield of death

It’s the intelligent peace of woman’s body

That again and again has defeated wars.

*

Now, who can teach anything to woman’s freedom?

Who can teach anything to woman’s smile?

Who can close the window of woman’ nudity?

Now, who can decide not hear woman’ bright questions

And pull backs skies

From her look, words and wings?

*

That hard time has passed

When the man sat at the right side of God
