The superior as god stands

Waiting for the pismire to beg off.

The whole world stands in their feet.

Bare bodies and empty hands plead

While the tyrant like Ozymandias stands with all his pride.

And feeds off this destitution.

The slightest motion decides the fate.

The ignorant mob hails the Rex.

With this, the veiled masses flow.

The wheel of time once rolled

And a revolution began

To overthrow the Pahlavi dynasty.

Time will turn the tables

Another Pahlavi will not find refuge.

And the barbarity will come to an end.
