Sense Sonnet - Steamer

 The Peoples' Choice

The mullahs took over Iran.

Theocracy, Iran became.

The shah had ruled a tyrant man.

The people, pawns in a new game

To suffer under tyrants new,

With the same old bag of tricks for

Seeking more power to accrue,

In telling lies and waging war.

Iran's people must be the source

Of fighting from within to bring

The downfall of this evil force.

True freedom is a costly thing.

False rats rule this theocracy.

At least real rats in holes live free.
