The silent majority, are finding their voice
revolution was coming, people had little choice
the nation weeps, and Alexandria bleeds
after all, ' we are all Khaled Saïd'
who knows just, how far it will go
we hold our breath, they fall like domino
our Tunisian brothers, planted a seed
and after all, 'we are all Khaled Saïd'
spread the word, by email or text
tolerate this, and you could be next
freedom is too precious, a thing to conceed
after all, 'we are all Khaled Saïd'
we won't give an inch, on our own birthright
what essentially is, basic human rights
put pressure on, so tyranny leaves
coz after all 'we are all Khaled Saïd'
it has to stop, kifaya! - enough!
the blood money, into police pockets they stuff
more than a fair wage, it's freedom we need
after all, 'we are all Khaled Saïd'
One man alone, couldn't resist
the brutal rule, of the iron fist
so join together, no matter what your creed
after all 'we are all Khaled Saïd'

thanks for the comment Mohd. Akmal Nazir there are some very brave people out there and i don't pretend to be able to put myself in their place (from the comfort of my easy chair a thousand miles away, but i think everyone can identify with objecting to injustice, yes i concur Mohd. - Kudos!
Very nicely written. The rule of tyranny must end. Kudos to these men who are fighting tooth and nail. Eventually they will emerge winners. Very deep poem indeed.

I would like to translate this poem
I like this one. Fully describe the Egyptian fighting for freedom and liberty. The Egyptians are the winner whatever they are defeated and successful at last, becoz they show how brave can Egyptian are.
