Voices of Change

The sound is haunting; voices in the night claiming the right to exist. In the darkness of Tehran a female voice cries 'Allah Akbar' 'God is Great'. From the dark distance comes the answer; many voices echo their reply. We are witnessing a shift in human consciousness; the call for freedom in Iran continues each night.

The You Tube video released this past weekend shows only darkness and occasional light. From the beginning voices call from a distance; the Islamic recognition of god is also a statement of freedom. Soon a voice near the camera cries loudly into the night and many voices answer. In the darkness of Tehran, those who are not speaking are listening. The sounds of change must be heard.

Change is coming to Iran and the women are leading. Peaceful shift is desired; resolute citizens have already taken many blows. Though some have died at the hands of the basij, the protesters still walk the streets. Though some have been beaten for raising their voices, the brave women of Tehran still climb to the rooftops at night. In defiance of the ruling powers, the women of Tehran will not be silenced.
