Will we remember Neda next year?
A model criesA rock star singsA bloody video on YouTubeMuch attention that it brings After the rain has fallenWhen the blood has washed awayWill we remember her tomorrow?Will we remember the next day? Will we remember her in ten years?Will we remember her in five?Will we remember even next year?Will our voice still be alive? For all the protests that were endedAnd the rallies that were bannedThe greatest danger to her memoryIs our short attention span For all the sadness that we feel nowAnd the anger that we ventThe best way we can honor herIs that we don't forget
