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 Drop
On June 21, 2025 U.S. military made strikes against three nuclear facilities in Iran called Operation Midnight Hammer.
Fordow, Natanz and Isfahan
No longer places in Iran
And gone at once atomic clamor
It took a drop of "Midnight Hammer"

A Crossroads for Iran
When missiles fly
The Mullahs lie
They bide their time
To turn the tide
Their constant bluster
Now short of luster
For why we ask
No God sent task
To build a bomb
With feigned aplomb
Their word to spread
Among the dead
They have their place
To find God's grace
Not trample lives
Like stinging hives
Fear and temerity
No road to prosperity
But that's what they seek
Control of the meek
A proud

They Wanted an A-Bomb
For 46 years - prideful and hateful
Wrath, envy, spreading the net
Building an A-Bomb, a decision fateful
A sword to be held, like eternal threat
Destruction, murder, elimination
Iran, to wipe Israel off the map
A sordid task for the whole nation
Stubborn threats, boasts, contempt
It was their purpose, the goal, the aim
To end every Jew on planet Earth
Fanned hot

Iran and Israel: Mirrors in the Dust
In courts of shadow, thrones are made,
Not by virtue—but by blade.
From Persia’s gate to Zion’s hill,
It’s not peace, but will, that breaks the still.
Two lions stare with burning eyes,
Clad in scripture, veiled in lies.
Each speaks of God, yet plays the game—
Where oil is blood and land is fame.
Iran, the scholar cloaked in flame,
Dreams of empires,

Amalek’s Demise
Amalek is the archetypal enemy of the Jews and the symbol of evil in Jewish religion and folklore. Amalekites represent an "eternally irreconcilable enemy" that wants to murder Jews.
Israel begins a war against Iran
The battle rages on, it seems
The time has come, can wait no longer
Must stop the threats’ unending streams
From Tehran, Middle East warmonger
They’ve

Just a sober nation taking stock

Sassanid Sun reborn as the Divine Khan Part 1
Shapur I, Wise King of the Simurgh Kingdom, and friend of Mani
The King of Kings of Iran and non-Iran, the sun of many
Walking through the valley of the shadow of death, the road of any
Recalling his life of war campaigns, stone monuments and plenty
Recalling his support and talks with Mani, though

Iran, Every Womans Fight
They’re made to look identical,
hide all that is unique.
With scarfs and veils and clothes that mask,
their beautiful physique.
In laws of old religion,
no woman was born free.
Sometimes sold by fathers,
a financial commodity.
The more that females cry out,
the tighter the noose gets.
The more they try to break away,
the uglier the threats.
The

Not in Iran, You Don't
Quick with a quip
glib with ad-libs
She had the gift of gab
A commonplace beautician
she had dreams and ambition
‘Til one day she removed her hijab

The Blackbird of Iran
The blackbird wants to sing a song.
What song?
A song of freedom
But its fragile beak is tied.
The blackbird lives on the Island.
Where the Aubrey's tongue
Is tonged with coal.
And black veil worn upon her head.
When she chirps, it's unheard.
When she spittle, it's waveless.
She's chained to the bottomless pit.
With flashes of lashes on her feet.
She sounds

Tell It Like It Is
Subservience, domination,
a foot on the throat,
religion taught them that, did it?
oppression, decapitation,
suffering, death through starvation,
divine ordinance they have, do they?
symbols of their belief on their faces,
books from heaven they read,
fountain of their education, is it?
prescriptive attire, deny women education,
breed through them future,
yet slave them in God’s name, will they?
every man is born of a

Women In Iran
Women in Iran
Women in Iran
Let us think of a country older than old.
It was called Persia, Iran, we were told.
Once, it was so green with flowers and wine.
Now, it’s filled with the filth; killing is their sign.
They kill under the name of God and Islam.
The people are tired; they can’t remain calm.
Women burn their
