Egypt Unrest Poem by Maria C. Pires Costa

Crowds gather around Tahrir Square
Fighting for a change... fair.
From here we sense people's anxiety
Longing for a better future
By creating a government national unity.

People from all walks of life
Have come together in unison
Not for the sake of strife
Rather for the attempt to stop what's mean.

May today's uncertainty
Give way to desired unity
So as Egypt soon can see
Security, freedom, and prosperity.

We support these people's aspirations
Praying God to provide them with order
So they can rule in peace
And cooperate with all nations.
