Coming of Age: 2 Voice Found Poem: Persepolis

Wealth
Invited Attacks
I was 10 years old
The “Islamic Revolution”
Execution
In the name of freedom
Capitalism
“Cultural Revolution”
My mother was really scared
Arab Invasion
Justice, Love & the Wrath of God!
Massacre
Ouch!
Forbade people to rescue 400 fire victims
God, where are you?
Down with the king!
God chose the king!
Pain
Destiny
I lived in poverty
I felt ashamed
The king is a killer!                                                                              The king is a killer!
Tomorrow we are going to demonstrate
We shouted from morning till night
New freedom.                                                                                             New freedom.
