Aftermath

After the Arab Spring, what? The death count all but recorded But none of the expected aftermath Where is the freedom that was expected? Nations that had them still in chaos Just a political label? Of vague directions, what a lost cause! Options absent, all's not well. So gone are the aged dictatorships Multiplied are the conflicts and deaths Governments changed but there's no leadership Such a scenario add to global debts. Eight hundred million dollars to feed Arab Spring? Money cannot water a people's hunger Love for country must always be birth within And values must be changed for each other. For Freedom is not just an empty word It's respect for every child, woman, or man Upholding the good, negotiation - not discord And unity, not greed, will make them stand.
