Still in power



the military, the generals
the elite still in power
what of the people
those who rose up
the joy of the square
the power of revolution
lost in the quicksand
the stagnation of time



January 25, 2013
second anniversary of revolution
in Tahrir Square, Cairo, Eqypt
one of major uprisings of Arab Spring
=====
March 17, 2011
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.
