Homa Samiei - It Seems God is Falling Asleep (2020)

Dedicated to all people who died in “Aban 98.”

"It was the middle of November in 2019; I Read in the news,” The price Of the Gas jumped Up in Iran.” After that, the people all over Iran started a protest against the gas price.
After some hours, I figured out none of my messages were delivered to Iran; I understood that they had cut off the Internet in Iran; that was a horrible time, full of fear and stress.
Nobody has any correct news from Iran, and nobody cares about the people in Iran.
It takes more than a week, after that, we heard the news of the number of people killed on that week, it has increased day to day, hour to hour, minute to minute...
At least the statistic said 1500 people died in Aban 98(November 2019). They are just afraid of poverty, sickness, and hunger...
And the result of their protest was the death
All the people who have been killed in protests are the son of somebody, daughter of somebody, spouse of somebody, somebody’s parent
Iran’s government almost killed everyone in the street. The news mentioned 18 kids have been killed in Aban 98. They were between 12 to 18. Nikta was 14; she could be my sister; Pouya Bakhtiari was just 27 same age as me ...

I have written this piece in memory of them to remember them.

It is painful and dolorous to say this, but I assume God is falling asleep these days..." - Homa Samiei
