Last Time I cried

I waited for you, for very long. And last night you came.

I hugged you and you held me tight in your strong arms. I cried.

You looked young and happy. You looked whole and I cried.

Last night I cried.

The last time I cried, I could see the people
Long ago in the rain,
Waiting as the soldiers put them all on a train,
And the hands on the bars, the eyes full of tears,
And the word is the same, for a thousand years

Last night I cried when I woke up and couldn't see your face.

Last night I cried, in my dreams, when you came to tell me, it will all be ok.

Last night I cried because theyhave put you away and nothing is ever ok.

what a beautiful choice of music!

what a touching article!

it breaks my heart, thinking about Ramin Jahanbegloo and many other scholors that have risked their lives trying to reveal the truth for poeple. They are the best of us! And I hope our indifference does not end in them loosing their lives!
