Unrest in Egypt – v4

There is still trouble in that ancient land
so important to the world
political unrest in Egypt,
in the Maghreb, in the Gulf;
People taking to the street
it is long past time to speak.

All of us complacent
if we do not join with them
calling for their ouster
for democracy to prevail
rights for all people
for all of this to end.
