A half century lie

A half century lie

Faraj Momeni

One-sentence banners (we have been together in sadness and happiness) covered the entire city of Tehran; The question is, what criteria and measures did you use to write this big lie and display it in the city?! In what time and place have we shared in sorrow and joy? Our partnership with you has come to an end for many years, where people were always under severe economic pressures and you rejoiced in the blessings of people’s hardships and sorrows.

People were under bombs and mortars on the war fronts and you sat in your palaces and villas to watch the sorrow of the people, the society bore the heavy burden of the education system, but your children benefited from the best facilities in European countries, America, Canada, and England. The people were crushed under the wheels of sanctions, and you, as the profiteers of sanctions, made bread in the blood of the nation and won trophies.

People were denied the right to vote, freedom of speech, and self-determination, and you smiled with authority on the gloomy faces of the people in the celebration and joy of election engineering. People mourned the departure of their elites, and you rejoiced in the joy of education and immigration of your children (self-improvement genes) in the waste of this country’s funds.

It would be unfair if we don’t say that you shared your joys and sorrows with the people of Yemen, Palestine, Lebanon, Syria, etc. you divided These banners are not worthy of the people of Iran, but they are worthy of the people of countries whose sorrows you were by their side more than their joys, while you did not see the sorrow of your own people, and whenever self-made happiness appeared from the heart of society, you stood in front of it, lest the laughter and joy of the sky of Iran caress

The girls and boys of Iran have to endure your mandatory hijab and personal recitations and be trapped in the cage of your misunderstandings of religion and law, but your children outside the country laugh at the oppressed people’s beards with their lack of hijab. Our women and men are saddened by the imprisonment and dismemberment of innocent loved ones caught in your courts; But you are happy about the freedom of embezzlers, renters and looters of national funds and the country.

The people are saddened by the rule and leadership of short-minded and ignorant people over politics and management, such as Mokhbar’s chief, Abdullahi, etc., you are happy with the inefficient government, which is drowning in the looting of the nation’s material and spiritual resources. People are sad and saddened by the promotion and normalization of corruption, prostitution, hypocrisy, usury, flattery and flattery, but you, with a smile and staring at the TV camera, are the promoters and agents of all the evils and harms. People together and side by side in the sadness of bread, sadness of freedom and sadness of the future, and you are proud and happy to suppress and suffer people.

Yes, people never experienced sadness or happiness with you and by your side, they alone bore the burden of sadness that was the product of your inefficiency and mismanagement, and you alone ruined their happiness.
