In this autobiographical Persian poem, Peyman Bakhshayesh reflects on his intellectual background, his hope for solidarity across democratic political traditions and his decision to join the Haft Aban Front. The poem supports Crown Prince Reza Pahlavi’s leadership of the transition while affirming the people’s right to choose Iran’s future political system. The complete 67-couplet poem and the new companion cartoon are available in the four-page Persian PDF below, prepared for the 24 October anniversary gathering in Brussels.
