Egypt

Egypt

 

Egypt,

Cleopatra was the perfect blend

Of beauty, intelligence and diplomacy

Rameses was not that bad of a soul

He was so honest

He was the will

He was the wall

For the safety

of the individual

and the whole

He was fair

and was too busy

With his fears

And tears

And the affairs of a decent nation

He was much higher

Than the story tellers

and what they spitted

In their  fabricated scriptures

He never, in fact, seen

That sneaky (shmuck)

Whom, they claimed,

Can convert his stick into a snake

 And can walk on waters

Leading the chosen losers

To get lost in the wild

Seeking the lost ego

( Mickey Mouse existed only in Comics)

***

Now, after the long history

Where you were

Genius but humble

I see you

Lately stumble

I don’t blame you dear if you tremble

***

Dear,

I respect your sadness

And I absorb your shout

I feel sad too

To see you

strangled

By suckers

After suckers

****

Egypt,

You have the right to tremble

Tremble baby tremble

Let the idiots know that

People are not a sponge that absorbs

Their filth  

People are an unlimited

Renewable resources of goodness

And if necessary anger

***

Tremble baby

Let fly the dust, of those bad times,

away from  your respected shoulders.

***

Egypt,

Dear friend

I know that you know how to read books

I know that you know How

To study history

How to recycle what you learn

I know you know

About the trembles in:

Tunis

Iran

And before that

The great French revolution.

You probably know

That issues, in history,

Reincarnate

***

Baby Egypt

You are the ancient

You are the recent

But

Please lose not the hope

Keep trembling

You can do it.

***

Tremble baby Egypt

You,

out of darkness, can generate light

And become

, again,

the glamorous mother of the world.

Author's Notes/Comments: 

I  I wrote these words in response to the current situation in Egypt. May be I am burning my brain for nothing but believe me I see many things burning now in Cairo!! unpleasant experience but what can we do? We can only watch the news and hope for the best.
