Mubarak Egyptian Protests Threatens Suez Oil Poem by Terence George Craddock (Spectral Images and Images Of Light)

Mubarak had given
a coded speech
on nationwide Egyptian
state television

Mubarak supporters listen
recognized his decision
immediately instantly
the answer to where many

of dictators secret police went
was answered in brutality
Tahrir Square 2nd February
'Amned Daula' 'Moochabarat'

sinister secret police of Egypt
who immune have held Emergency
Powers thirty stain years kept
since Emergency Law was swiftly

passed after Egypt’s President Sadat
was assassinated such a tragedy
succeeding dictator henchmen security
torture with Mubarak total immunity

Mubarak security supporters provoked
blood letting upon peacefully assembling
protesters in Tahrir Square after ordering
teargas rubber bullets baton charges in

days earlier secret police tactic brutality
to beat isolated protesters with iron bars
was routine for protest eradication policy
now administration frustration hits streets

demons are out of bottle and upon the street
modern tactics retrocede into mystic Bedouin
camel charge loud sound of liberty bell rings
an Egyptian falcon freedom sands soaring flies

wind of change is blowing protests
are not going to effect your country
except in increased national poverty
oil prices increasing to $100 dollars

plus a barrel an eighth of the world's
shipping goes through the Suez channel
Mubarak closed all Egyptian banks
shipping companies cannot pay access

the ports of Alexandria etc are closed
or on skeleton crews ships cannot
refuel in Egypt Mubarak has now played
his cards the poor will suffer but not

world elite leaders bankers corporations
solution must be found now immediate
if Egypt’s people will not end protests
elite will end Mubarak rule inconvenient?
