For the Great Intifada of Egyptians



For the Great Intifada of Egyptians

Not Mubarak mummy

Not Omar Suleiman alive

Even not Elbaradei the Muslim

Who may tomorrow compromise with USA

Just the brothers of Khalid Islambouli

Only Muslim Brotherhood

Only the lovers of Khomeini

just people’s empty hands

just the book of God

And the Godly promises…

Robert Gates bull shits; alone

And the white house renders announcements for its scepter Auntie the Britain’s queen

Even the heads of intrigue in Iran

brothers of BBC’s green movement

analyze alone

Mr. Obama

‘s gone crazy

-Mubarak to be?

-Mubarak to go?

-goes at this very moment…

This very moment means last night for BBC

This very moment means tonight for civil mobs

under the shadow of tanks in the streets

This very moment means Mubarak backers on jeans made in Israel

Riding on Arab camels and horses

There is a Jamal war in Cairo streets

check mate

Mister Pre si Dent

You’re 30 years late!

Only brothers to Khalid Islambouli

None thinks about you tonight

Now it’s midnight

Exactly 12 mid night for Americans

12 midnight for BBC

12 mid night for Iranian intriguers

Who they want to replace Mubarak with Assad

Wondering how to render an announcement tomorrow

Only brothers of Khalid Islambouli know what I mean

**

Now the News

Tell of a stunt-puppet called Mubarak

A stunt-puppet you were from the beginning

Before anyone doubts if you are alive

In June of 2004

In India poor dead people

Are turned into powder by electrocution

Poor people of Egypt also
