Blood running in the gutters

This story is as old as time

Once again the bloodied up

Victims have committed no crime

The “elected” officials in power

Aren’t keeping their word

And the people on the streets

They just want to be heard

Peaceful protests are broken up

With what seems like violence

While the people want freedom

The government wants silence

They strike hard and fast disabling

Various lines of communication

They shut down the Internet and Al Jazeera

In attempt to settle the frustrated nation

This infringement upon freedom

Only added more fuel to the fire

It hasn’t stopped the protests

Or cooled their desire

The uprisings continue

The citizens stand and unite

They know what they want

So they continue to fight

Mubarak doesn’t get it

He tries to offer a solution

But the people already have an answer

It’s called a REVOLUTION
