The West is desperately trying to play catch-up
after being caught off guard
It‘s attempting to hijack
the Egyptians hard fought demand
that their President, step down
and, let democracy have the upper hand
First the mealy mouths in the US
then the European Governments
demanded nothing short of Full Democracy
for the rebelling Nation
But now they realise they’d rather preserve the status quo
So, if it has its way
instead of giving the people Full Democracy
the Egyptians can expect
more of what they had before
wth just the deck chairs - rearranged!
