Poem in the body of the work by:

Mitra Samimi Urich

( see translation below)

Behind the Iron Gates

imprisoned in body

but not in spirit

the brave prisoners of conscience

I hear their voices

echoing thousands of miles away

without despair

shouting the words of freedom

not just for them

but for liberty

for all
