Joy To Egypt, Joy To The World

Joy To Egypt, Joy To The World The honorable People are excited and jubilant. Finally, the grumpy octogenarian tyrant Has stepped down. Long live Egypt! Down, down Down with the thirty year old dictatorship! The country is hopefully embarked on the ship Of Democracy, Justice, and Fairness. God’s willing, this is the end of the ugliness Of corruption, nepotism and arbitrary arrest. With all my heart, I wish the best, Not only to Egypt, but also to the entire region. Facebook, Twitter, Blackberry and the Internet played A phenomenal role in this revolution. The people were resilient, they could not be swayed To change their focus, which was to dethrone the dictator. For eighteen hard and grueling days, they were willing To either live free or die standing. At times, death, the ultimate sacrifice and horror, Is the only way to obtain liberty and freedom From brutal and oppressive kingdom. The people have spoken and they had reached their goal. Let’s pray that the military understand the toll, The courage and sacrifices that the protesters had to endure, In order to liberatate, to force or even to lure The roaring lion into giving up. When the honorable People stand up, For the goodness and the future of their country, Great leaders or sincere patriots must listen. The Tunisian and Egyptian revolutions should serve as a lesson For the others in the Mediterranean Sea, And for the rest of the world. This is not the end of the struggle, we have to wait and see What tomorrow will bring to this swirled, Unpredictable and volatile environment. The good People are joyous, excited and jubilant. Long live freedom, long live democracy! Our world deserves peace, justice, liberty, Compassion, honesty, equality Greater sensitivity and prosperity. It is time for the old regimes to set sail, Good judgment and youth will always prevail.
