A short-term solution
now that the world is
watching
the winds of change blowing
throughout this region
The insanity of repression
firing on the mourners
steeling the people
that they must be free
The tide turning
the despots losing
the winds of change
blowing on the sand
The insanity of repression
killing their own people
soon they will be standing
on their graves
