We Support Your Excellency Poem by Ahmed Fouad Negm

We support your Excellency for another term
In which we will continue the happy march
Maybe we can sell the curb
As there is nothing more one can sell
We support your Excellency to achieve more
Than what has already been accomplished under your reign for sure
We are now at last under the mercy of God
And God alone can have mercy on us
We pledge allegiance to your Excellency and no one else
It's quite enough for us to swarm in your luxury
The people of Egypt are sound asleep
Which tells the thieves, to steal on
We pledge allegiance to your Excellency, your son and his son
There is nothing like an old idea renewed
Our ruin will be at his hand
And as if anyone in you hears to Al-Adhan
We kiss both your hands and feet
Stay with us, Mr. President
Your presence is essential, enforced by the times
Without your presence, we'll be really lost
Egypt is yours and we are just guests
It's enough for us to see your face
We excuse your Excellency, we understand your circumstances
You just need to order, we'll oblige
Your dogs kiss your Excellency's feet
They, walk above the impoverished
Now the people's lives, your Excellency, have become
Humiliation, bitterness and insults
As long as we are the people of affiliation
And constantly in a state of absent-mindedness
Don't pay us in any attention
This is your Excellency's manor, and in it you are free
Constitution, what constitution? It no longer matters
It's all nonsense
Isn't it enough that the corruption sucks
Our hard work, it is nesting and its roots are growing
So what, if the devastation torment us
Daily, catastrophes, scandals, and bribes
We will just sit in the Cafes
Waiting for your heir to follow
