I am Iranian
Hair,
Eyes,
Lips,
Breasts,
Hands…
I am Iranian
Hair,
Eyes,
Lips,
Breasts,
Hands
But my life is not
A MUSEUM OF TOLERANCE
Because
I am a woman,
From the Middle East
I am not a slave
I am not a cook
I am not a cleaner
I am not just…
I am Iranian in your Blue Eyes…and therefore
I am a little black woman
With a big stomach
With 7 kids
With one on the way
You are wrong
Neither I nor my mother or her mothers
Are A MUSEUM OF TOLERANCE
We fight
We love
We live
We are
Iranian Woman
Hair,
Eyes,
Lips,
Breasts,
Hands…
