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...

What kind of system, what kind of light, Where the poor stay in darkness despite the night. A government servant burns a thousand bright, Yet pays no bill, no burden in sight. Free connections, excuses so old, Feeding on the nation’s wealth, greedy and bold. Even the electric poles weep in pain, As justice hangs trembling in its fragile chain. And there stands...

She is a Muslim you notice the way she dresses a hijab wrapped with grace her body a sacred space she guards. Like the wind she moves with quiet strength dignity woven into every step her faith not a burden, but a choice. It is her right to cover what she holds dear her body, her soul a temple shaped by devotion. So in the interview...

Frail heart's are weak minded bigots I felt this disturbance enter into the light this cold dark cloud burning below zero it sends the shivers coming from its shadow The broken record begins scratching a surface ingrowing putting the needle between words sewn deeply rooted the reflection appears mirrored frozen watching this crossover it all...

"Blackbird" You cannot cage what's born to rise, she blazed beyond their brittle lies. They named her ash, they named her end, but fire learns how not to bend. Her silence cracked the sky in two, she flew where only lightning flew, They heard her cry, not weak–but wise– a battle hymn of "Blackbird" skies....

Inspired by the USPS "19th Amendment: Women vote" forever stamp (2020) They stamped her face– like that could contain her fire. Purple, white, and gold– not colors, but warning, wrapped around a marching soul. She didn't walk, she moved like thunder– every step cracking silence, every breath remembering the women who weren't allowed to speak. They called her too loud. Too much. Too wild. But she was...

You applause the actor Her harmonious tone Her play of words Her triumphs heard But do you love the stage after the song The leftover footprints from where it sang along Atoning for every step that was missed Retrieving the dust from her accomplishments The dust from the skill she used to win The dirt from the shoes that store talent within She takes a...

Freewill is a right, we all should be allowed to have our rights. Right to move about, and live without fear or doubts. Some say its love, but true love is like a warm blanket that feels, soft and gives comfort, making us feel so glowing through our life. Some just want control, and to make...

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...

The case of lynching vs suicide A black man Hangs Lifeless Silent Eerie The only sound Is the wind thrashing around As it surrounds The black man Screaming loud Trying to get the man to make a sound The wind howled In pain In agony Watching as the whole town Laughing like he was some kind of clown The police never showed In the...

So far away but my heart you shine through. Stronger, swifter, and wiser, I am better just because of you. As the past reigned with the man kings your glow reign in me too. I'm passionate to be directed by my compass, water, and shoes. Your nose loud as tunes i can only offer a fife. From a distance...
