And you think friend doesn't know 'em
I have to play along
its about fooling them to get what you want
look what they're
doing to you for daring to say it as it is
not all are that truthful
simpletons should be treated as the wisest
you don't catch clouds
let them float airily along dense and vapid
till they fall in rain
drippy wet belligerent soggy droplets
useful yet vainglorious
this is what friend have to give in the storm






#NazaninZaghariRatcliffe's interview, specifically focusing on those calling her an 'ungrateful cow' for not showing enough deference or gratitude to the UK government.
analysed around 14,000 tweets involving around 8600 unique accounts. I downloaded tweets that included the hashtag "send her back" and "ungrateful cow" and the keywords "Nazanin and ungrateful". (horrendous I know).
So there you have it, proof that hating on a newly released hostage of the Iranian regime - who also happens to be a female person of colour, who has missed 6 years of their life and daughter growing up & endured hellish jail conditions - is more a racist past time
