Too slow coming
by finally, action
the world speaking
standing together
with the people
yearning to breathe free
Against the madman,
the brutal dictator,
hiring mercenaries
to kill his own people
The revolution reignited
the judgment to come
he will stand in the dock
or fall by the gun

&
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.
