My thoughts about current affairs....

The Lion in the Arab world is roaring....
A revolution is on its way....
Like fire, the voices of the people 
Are being heard across Northern Africa
And the Middle East.

The people have had enough of dictators
Of oppressive rulers and their collaborators
They want to vote in new governments
That will represent them.

They are tired of unemployment and poverty,
While the money gets accumulated in Swiss banks
They want to get to choose.....
They want the freedom 
That each human being craves and deserves.
The Arab lion is awaken and it roars loudly now.

They gather in squares around  
Libya, Tunisia, Egypt, Bahrain, Algeria,
Yemen, Kuwait, some demonstrations in Iran
And yesterday in Morocco
And where else next?.....
They gather to be heard
They gather to protest....


The Western world watches with fascination...
We cheer them up, 
Because we know freedom is the only way.
We hold our heart with good wishes,
For the end of oppression. 

But what will come for them next?...
Does that mean that freedom 
And equality are on their way?
Or that a hard core religious Islamic Party 
May be voted to rule?

When people were oppressed for so long,
They tend not to know what true freedom smells like...
And how to protect minorities 
Not just to go by majority rule.
People forget what is truly good for them 
And what may serve their true needs...

The lion of the Arab world is roaring
And we are all listening....
With love and prayer in our hearts.
Let freedom reign....
Let love find its way...
