What
will happen, will it be an explosion
what
will happen this Friday in that land
when
the mosques empty
the
people done with their prayers;
Will
the madman come
to
rain bullets down upon them
will
they cry for freedom
rising
up in the square
What
will happen across Libya
in Fashloom,
Tajoora, Bin Ashoor
in the rest of
Tripoli
will they
finally rise up
will the
people be free;
Will the
coward shoot them
denying them
their rights
will the world
stand by in silence
as the day
turns red with blood
