lessons are familiar




mccannta@flickr.com egyptians revolt



Mubarak's billions
How he got so much in his time?
The iron fist rule in Egypt
Finally the Egyptians make him flee

As with all dictators
They alleged billions
Milking the country the people suffer
Until they revolt in mass demonstrations

The Egyptians dare to challenge
The dictator's rule to free the country
Into it they free themselves
Of the rule benefits families and cronies

Is there a lesson to be learned?
It sounds familiar in our country
We are slightly different.......
We lost through the ballot boxes

The plunder of the nation's wealth
The greed, corruption and favoring cronies
The cost of goods shooting up.........
Our pockets getting lighter every year

We have to wake up
Learn the crisis in other nations
Lessons are familiar.....
We must change and the government
