Release of the “Contradiction” Trilogy by Dr. Hojjat Beghaei/ A poetic and musical reflection on conflict, justice, and social awakening
Rekording Megazine_Culture & Literature // A newly released trilogy of songs titled “Contradiction”, written by Dr. Hojjat Beghaei, has recently been published across various media platforms, offering poetry and social music enthusiasts a profound new experience.
This three-part project—crafted in the forms of free verse poetry, alternative rock, and social rap—presents a critical, multilayered reflection on the theme of “duality in social and political discourse and behavior.”
The first piece, titled “This Contradiction”, is written as a free verse poem, with a direct and contemplative tone that explores the conflict between faith, slogans, and action. In lines such as:
“No! It defies both faith and reason—
that on our lips may rise
the cry of ‘Death to...’
while our hearts dwell in London...”
the poet points to the widening gap between claims and conduct, and the crisis of collective belief.
The second piece, “Mirrors of Lies”, is composed in the alternative rock genre. Through the restless and rebellious voice of a younger generation, it poetically captures disillusionment with empty slogans and the experience of injustice. The elongated, drawn-out pronunciation of the word “Contradiction” throughout the song lends both a sonic identity and conceptual depth to the piece.
The third track, titled “Law with an Exception”, takes the form of social rap, explicitly criticizing systemic inequality and discriminatory legal structures. As the lyrics declare:
“They say we’re all equal—but only on paper!
One’s behind bars, while another smiles in the palace of power!”
This piece, with its sharper and more confrontational language, channels the public’s weariness and demand for justice.
Dr. Hojjat Beghaei—poet and researcher in social development and literature—writes in a short note about the release:
“The Contradiction Trilogy is an attempt to listen to the inner voice of society—a voice constantly oscillating between faith, power, and reality.”
A musical adaptation of the trilogy, produced in collaboration with several independent artists, is reportedly set to be released soon on major music platforms.
