A Place for New Heroes by Don Luce
based on a poem written by Marzieh Ahmadi Oskooi (An Iranian woman who was killed in a shootout
with SAVAK in 1974)

Ghassr, Evin, Ghezel,
These are the prisons of Iran
long ago,
They belonged to the Shah
Built for te angry patriots
who protested
the flow of gold
to the banks of Amerika
who protested
the flow of people from the farms
to Abadan
to the Shah's oil
While he imported oranges from South Africa

In those days the poor became poorer
and the Shah lived in luxury

Now Ghassr, Evin and all the other prisons
Belong to Khomeini
Who did no want to waste the precious space
Why waste these historical shrines
he must have thought
Where he true heroes of 50 yeares had spent their time!
So he filled those bowels of the earth with new heroes!

Listen!
TAP! TAP! TAP!
In the cold pipes that tap out their messages
On sewage pipes that On sewage pipes that twist their time!
So he filled their twist their way time!
so he filled those
from cell- to-cell- like angry
Can you hear that ? do you understand??
Listen!
TAP! TAP! TAP!

Listen
TAP! TAP! TAP!
In the cold of night, they tap out messagess
On sewage pipes that twist their historical shrines
he must have thought
Where the true heroes of 50 had spent their time!
So he filled those bowels of the earth new heroes.

Listen!
TAP! TAP! TAP!
In the cold of night, they tap out messages
On sewage pipes that sewage pipes twist their way
from cell to cell like angry snakes
Can you hear? Do you understand?
Listen!
TAP! TAP! TAP!

Listen to the voices to the CITY OF NIGHT
growing voices of anger
to the piercing voices of truth
Heavy sits the night upon the fortress
Heavy sits the night upon my friends
But whispers are heard so well
Listen!
TAP! TAP! TAP!
