Persecution:

They Dedicated their lives to a noble purpose

Innocent victims, Imprisoned for their beliefs

Their suffering knew no bounds

Only comforted by prayerful sounds

Their children suffer the same fate

Subjected to an endless hate

Denied basic human rights

Yet guided by a greater light

Why do you think you can stop the world from knowing

Prevent the truth from showing

You can't block the sun from shining

Pressured to recant their faith

Their Holy Places destroyed,

Their graves unearthed, no place to bury their dead

Denied the right to education

Riddled with false accusations

Why do you think you can stop the world from knowing

Prevent the truth from showing

You can't block the sun from shining

Why do you think you can stop the truth from flowing

Prevent the world from knowing

You can't stop their light from shining

You can burn their homes but not their spirits

Seize their land but not their souls

- Dedicated to the Baha'i's persecuted in Iran
