Human Rights Poems

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

A Night of '89

A Night of '89

Footsteps at midnight
the knock no one dared answer.
Dogs howled in silence.

Charred Bodies on the road,
eyes still open to the sky.
The crows never ask.

Posters on the wall
by morning, the faces fade.
Smoke curls from tire pyres .

Mother lights a lamp.
Her son's shoes still by the door.
She dares not whisper.

Gunfire in the dusk,
then a scream

TWO TIMES FIFTY DAYS

Wow! 100 days!
Thunderstorms of injustice;
Human rights are drowned:-
 

Human Rights

Every day, a new fight,
For the dignity of human rights.

People turning on each other,
Instead of standing strong together.

Prejudice against Black and Brown,
Judging skin while tearing down.

The suffering in Gaza—a tragic sight,
Reflecting the loss of humanity’s light.

The poor lie on roads to sleep,
Without enough food, their struggles are deep.

Villages parched with thirst and despair,
In lands where

The Thing

The things of which we cannot speak
Make us become we cannot say
The thing brought back from yesterday
That praised the strong and crushed the weak

That thing whose name we cannot name
That fathers fought to keep at bay
The thing we thought had gone away 
Now clothes our parliament in shame

Klaus Barbie made their king of spies
Elon von

The black hole of DC

“My name is Jonathan Mellis, I'm solitary confined
In a D.C Jail, where they destroy your mind
They call solitary confinement “the hole”. 
They drop you in and let time erode your soul.

It’s hard to cope with this tunnel of sadness I'm facing
At first, I'm lonely and my mind is racing.
After a while this turns into desperate

A Piece of Peace

A bitter piece 
of peace
may be all the peace
we get, but any piece
of peace
is worth a bit of peace
to someone.

Article Fourteen

In case of article fourteen
Quite a problem could have been
Solved completely, setting free
All from tribal pedigree 
No prejudice would take place
Based on nation or the race
No one meets with deprivation
Well protected by convention
Be it truth, we could have been
Living in most fairiest dream
Ever dreamt about, or heard
Magic of the written word
Would reach out the moral

Stop, Stop The Division

Army versus Navy
Navy versus Army
Army versus Army
Navy versus Navy
Stop, stop the division
Stop the separation
Stop the genocide
The bombs, the pesticide
And the bullets are killing
Women, children, our offspring
Elderly and unarmed civilians
Americans versus Americans
Haitians versus Haitians
Ranchers versus immigrants
Peasants versus inhabitants
Aliens versus migrants
Citizens versus Martians
Vice versa, all the sagas
And crying out loud, alas
Stop, stop the divisions
Stop all toxic and

Human Rights

I feel not mine pain
Until I feel thine pain
I see no gain
Until I help you again
I can't peacefully reign
Until I remove those reins

Aborted

America, land of the free,
riches and opportunity, 
abound from sea to shining sea,
dreams become reality.

Everyone has the right to be, 
equal voice of society,
everyone that is…except me,
was not given the chance to breathe.

Glory To the Ukrainian Freedom Fighters

Glory to the Ukranian Freedom Fighters
 
Democracy and freedom are under attack
Beaurocracy and greed man,
Don’t let this war criminal come back
Putin is lootin’ the streets of Ukraine
His crimes against humanity are bordering on insane
His unprovoked aggression shows the damage in his brain
A corrupt megalomaniac whose only cause is pain
 
Let it rain freedom for Ukranian people!
Let it

Time To Stand Up For Human Rights

It's time,
For you to stand in line,
And take a stand this time,
While there is still time,
For human rights to define. 

It is all to easy to define,
The rights of those who think they deserve to shine,
Brighter than those others who are in a different line,
For all time.

But I say that makes us all less fine,

Human Rights and Equal Justice

We must stop constantly fighting, all of us,
for human rights and equal justice, 
and start building a society where the rights of all humankind,
are an integral part of the system's design.
