rich Americans getting richer

not those in the street
not those toiling, angry
depressed Americans
trying to hold onto the dream

rich Americans getting richer
more and more of our wealth
bonuses and profits
crumbs only for the rest

calling on President Obama and the world
to act in the Middle East, especially in Libya and Bahrain,
to stand with the people
yearning to breathe free
and not worrying about the results,
that it is always right to stand for basic human rights
&
on the transformations since the beginning of January -
all the protests in Egypt, Yemen, Bahrain, Tunisia, Algeria, Libya, Oman,
Jordan, Iran, Iraq, Palestinian Territories, Djibouti, Mauritania, Senegal, Saudi Arabia, etc.
