The outstanding splendour
of the marvellous world-influencing
lost civilizations of antiquity,
are unquestionably cherished with much grandeur;
centuries and centuries gone and forthcoming,
shall evermore admire their greatness.
Nevertheless, the enormity of Persia's magnificent
treasures, nowadays, 'black gold' is top for an entrepreneur;
Sadly, greed was and continue to be in the hearts of man -
encompassing their eternal wishful possession
of such wealth of exquisite quality,
is without out a doubt undeniable. Moreover,
the fabulous riches has truly been wealth, instead,
the overwhelming factor spearheading
this obsession are the awfully overlooked genuine hospitality,
freedom-loving, open-minded and tolerant beliefs
of the Persians. Excluding, of course, the unfit religious
extremism that governs their stunning millennia's old nation;
desperately attempting to further enforce another faith
during the latter of the Soviet dominance, and thereafter, unjustly.
the minds and hearts of the people belong to Zoroastrianism,
which in its prominence respected and loved all faiths.
The plethora of cultures and its citizens of a different ethnicity
is still prevalent in the wrongful presumption
by many around the world. A wrongful assumption
should never be permitted. Henceforth,
the real Persian gold that this tremendous nation
beholds - the quintessential desire to live freely -
never stop battling with unyielding affection,
to once again be internationally adored
for their ancient resplendid gold.
