Evin Prison

Khaled was a bodybuilding champ in Iran A photo shows a smiling and very strong man Then in Evin Prison, at the mercy of nasty folk His spine fractured, kidneys failed, heart was harmed, leg was broke. Evin is a bad place, 113 degrees and no A.C. I'm sure you can think of better places to be One woman tells us solitary had no toilet or bed 4 months there then 400 days before she learned if she'd be dead. Israel destroyed the Evin Prison gate Then Trump called for cease fire, peace could not wait I guess he didn't want to be dragged into a "forever war" But for Evin's prisoners, Iran will close that door. From the "dungeons of oppression" Khaled sent out a cry He said "freedom of speech and human rights here are a big lie But most Westerners know that. It's just "what can we do?" Until they come for us for their big plans include us too.
