Its not another revolution
\nThose people on the streets
\nIts a demand for justice
\nThat comes through those tweets
\nAnd posts through sites like Facebook
\nThat the Mullahs try to ignore
\nAnd use their powers to block
\nBut the people cry no more<\/p>\n

Over 200 some say are dead
\nWe know only one name, one face
\nIn in praying for her we pray for all
\nIn that godforsaken place…<\/p>\n

Once the same was Timor
\nUnder a tyrants reign
\nBut time in time removed the tyranny
\nAnd now only justice and memories remain<\/p>\n

\"Neda<\/p>\n
