Anahita's Song for Persia

This is a collaborate effort by a young poet in Iran and an American performer. Photos of Iran were taken in April 2009, just prior to the atrocities that have been on going since the election held in June. Since that time dozens have been hung from cranes, hundreds tortured, and protesters placed on trial in kangaroo courts, while hundreds more remain in prisons. The photos are indicative of the peaceful nature of the people of Iran and the flourishing society that they strive towards. Their call is for equal rights, human rights, and dignity. They cry for an end to the dictatorship and the Islamic Republic. Please support them in spirit and in truth.

The lyrics are simple, the sound moving. No photos showing faces of individuals have been used in this video for safety purposes. No photos of protesters have been utilized ... it is a video of respite from the horrors and one to set the spirit to a few moments escape and that ambition which drives the people -- AZADI!.

Religion Doesn't Kill...people who manipulate religion Do!...Greed , Power and Control are the true motivators of Murder of innocent people...everyone has the right to be free and some are willing to die for it...the Persian people are a Good people who were Great allies before the Mullahs...pray for change and never give up Hope!...

Peace...

Religion (HUH), I believe in GOD. THROUGH PRAYER Goodness and love conquers all religions through GOD. Has anyone really looked at the religion tree? OH so many branches that created so much sorrow. John Lennon most definitely had a noble pursuit.

I would like to thank Anahita Mostajeran for writing the lyrics for this song. I'm working on 5 more songs that she wrote lyrics for.

You can't believe in Allah and Jesus at the same time. It's a contradiction!
