Egypt
Egypt,
Cleopatra was the perfect blend
Of beauty, intelligence and diplomacy
Rameses was not that bad of a soul
He was so honest
He was the will
He was the wall
For the safety
of the individual
and the whole
He was fair
and was too busy
With his fears
And tears
And the affairs of a decent nation
He was much higher
Than the story tellers
and what they spitted
In their fabricated scriptures
He never, in fact, seen
That sneaky (shmuck)
Whom, they claimed,
Can convert his stick into a snake
And can walk on waters
Leading the chosen losers
To get lost in the wild
Seeking the lost ego
( Mickey Mouse existed only in Comics)
***
Now, after the long history
Where you were
Genius but humble
I see you
Lately stumble
I don’t blame you dear if you tremble
***
Dear,
I respect your sadness
And I absorb your shout
I feel sad too
To see you
strangled
By suckers
After suckers
****
Egypt,
You have the right to tremble
Tremble baby tremble
Let the idiots know that
People are not a sponge that absorbs
Their filth
People are an unlimited
Renewable resources of goodness
And if necessary anger
***
Tremble baby
Let fly the dust, of those bad times,
away from your respected shoulders.
***
Egypt,
Dear friend
I know that you know how to read books
I know that you know How
To study history
How to recycle what you learn
I know you know
About the trembles in:
Tunis
Iran
And before that
The great French revolution.
You probably know
That issues, in history,
Reincarnate
***
Baby Egypt
You are the ancient
You are the recent
But
Please lose not the hope
Keep trembling
You can do it.
***
Tremble baby Egypt
You,
out of darkness, can generate light
And become
, again,
the glamorous mother of the world.
