What Will Mubarak Legacy Be?
A generous humble
meek shinning sinless
man of peace bestowing
freedom seeds of peace
upon beloved people like
liberator Mahatma Gandhi?
Egypt scenes incredible
Mubarak uses horses camels
an enduring not endearing
attack globally televised piece
stoning Egyptian protesters will irk
displeasure brutality paddy not trendy.

Egyptian Tanks In Tahrir Square
Mighty yellow metal monsters
intimidate approach Tahrir Square;
symbolic modern dread dealers
of death sent to scare spread fear;
but courage of Egyptian peaceful protesters
defies president calculated tank terror threat;
day upon day witness oppressed courageous
civilian populations demands freedom fight.
No torture dictator rule indefinitely steals
a sovereign nation’s dream freedom right;
No general president in immunity survives
indefinitely citizen’s claim to freedom right.

If I Resign Today There Will Be Chaos
It was February the 3rd 2011 when
Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak
made his famous scare fear prediction
'If I Resign Today There Will Be Chaos'.
Mubarak claimed he was sincerely troubled?
By violence the world had seen in Liberation
Tahrir Square over preceding days he claimed
his government was innocent not responsible?
Mubarak blamed the Muslim Brotherhood
a banned political party persecuted in Egypt.
But Mubarak supporters violence launched
against anti-government protesters innocent.
Mubarak claimed he 'was very unhappy about
yesterday. [stating] I do not want to see Egyptians
fighting each other.' Mubarak had hoped to rout
humiliate publicly defeat opponent protesters.
When asked what he thought seeing the people
shouting insults about him and wanting him gone
Mubarak said, 'I don't care what people say about
me... I care about my country, I care about Egypt.'
Mubarak claimed he wanted to resign but could not
'for Fear of the Country Falling into Chaos.' Egypt
will sink into chaos if I resign there will be chaos at
least eight people had died hundreds were injured in
violent clashes between his supporters and anti-
government protesters since Wednesday that is chaos
pride comes before a fall was Mubarak the leader
really unfazed by insults being hurled at him by
protesters demanding his immediate resignation?
According to quotes he wavered when asked about
his attitude toward his main ally the US which had been
pushing for him to resign because Washington gives
Egypt about $1.5 billion in mostly military aid annually
in a statement like Gaddafi would soon make he said
'You don't understand the Egyptian culture and what
would happen if I step down now' Mubarak said he told
US President Barack Obama while reportedly he remained
guarded in Cairo in the presidential palace with his family
heavily guarded by troops tanks barbed wire in safety?
Egypt's largest protests in a generation were clearly
demanding democratic economic reforms immediately
while analysts were estimating the Mubarak family net
worth ranged from $40 billion to $70 billion a calculation
not based upon the billions Egyptian protests were costing.
Chaos might happen? Chaos was already business costing.
One man's chaos is another man's democracy celebration.
Several months on Mubarak is gone? There is no chaos.
Democracy in Egypt will prove to be an Egyptian vision.

Mubarak Egyptian Protests Threatens Suez Oil
Mubarak had given
a coded speech
on nationwide Egyptian
state television
Mubarak supporters listen
recognized his decision
immediately instantly
the answer to where many
of dictators secret police went
was answered in brutality
Tahrir Square 2nd February
'Amned Daula' 'Moochabarat'
sinister secret police of Egypt
who immune have held Emergency
Powers thirty stain years kept
since Emergency Law was swiftly
passed after Egypt’s President Sadat
was assassinated such a tragedy
succeeding dictator henchmen security
torture with Mubarak total immunity
Mubarak security supporters provoked
blood letting upon peacefully assembling
protesters in Tahrir Square after ordering
teargas rubber bullets baton charges in
days earlier secret police tactic brutality
to beat isolated protesters with iron bars
was routine for protest eradication policy
now administration frustration hits streets
demons are out of bottle and upon the street
modern tactics retrocede into mystic Bedouin
camel charge loud sound of liberty bell rings
an Egyptian falcon freedom sands soaring flies
wind of change is blowing protests
are not going to effect your country
except in increased national poverty
oil prices increasing to $100 dollars
plus a barrel an eighth of the world's
shipping goes through the Suez channel
Mubarak closed all Egyptian banks
shipping companies cannot pay access
the ports of Alexandria etc are closed
or on skeleton crews ships cannot
refuel in Egypt Mubarak has now played
his cards the poor will suffer but not
world elite leaders bankers corporations
solution must be found now immediate
if Egypt’s people will not end protests
elite will end Mubarak rule inconvenient?

Mubarak Orders Attack Upon Protesters
Mubarak is an old military commander ordering attack upon civilians.
Mubarak said this is a war I will not be beaten by our hungry civilians.
Mubarak in Stalin like style orders attack upon own Egyptian civilians.
Mubarak orders mufti secret police to attack with clubs knives stones.

Defying A Protest Response Egyptian Curfew
Mubarak called for stability
but this late political appeal
appeared to cut rigid little no ice
with inflamed reform protesters
who surged onto Egyptian streets
immediately as Mubarak finished
speaking defying a protest response
curfew as other hard line protesters
who had earlier been pressure forced
into nearby side streets by military
could be heard chanting 'People
want to change the regime'
immediately after Mubarak's
broadcast to the nation finished
daring defiance foretells regime end

Mubarak Speaks Four Days Late
Mubarak accused protesters of abusing freedoms
which he the feared oppressor had given citizens.
Mubarak refused to step down leave town gallantly
too late too late Mubarak promises to promote democracy.
Mubarak Mubarak should already long long be gone
the wounded the dead protesters cannot all be wrong.
What will Mubarak give protesters teargas rubber bullets?
Stones are speaking out in poverty need with empty wallets.
Contrast beloved King Abdullah II of Jordan ordered Jordan’s
police to hand out water and orange juice to thirsty protesters.
Which would you vote for? Which give a no confidence vote?
King Abdullah urged senators officials, to be in constant contact
with people in all provinces, to hear their grievances, to hear their
ambitions, their interests in frank dialogue. Wise King Abdullah.

Mubarak’s Coded Civil Disobedience Tahrir Square Attack
Mubarak is a sly ego wounded antique
military snare dictator orchestrating
vindictive revenge attack on protesters
Mubarak said any civil disobedience
is a war to be savagely beaten broken
slave hungry rebellion dog whipped
Mubarak in Stalinish style purge
takes secret police off streets trains
new camel horse charge distraction
Mubarak orders criminal jail break out
snake mufti police rib breaking attack

Tiger Dragon Masters Of Disguise
Do your remember sensational movie
‘Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon'?
All eyes mass audience on big screen
most people still intently observant?
Yet when you ask people after the movie
did they see the hidden tiger and dragon?
Most answered puzzled that they did not.
An explanation as to why unseen have none?
The reason however is elementary when given.
The tiger was crouching the dragon was hidden.

The Golden Face Of A Youthful Egyptian President
I have seen youthful golden face
of a new virile youthful Egyptian
President rising like radiant rays
of rising sun amid decades dark
deceit oppression sown cruel deeds
justification was evil choking cloak
Emergency laws masked Mubarak
dictator deeds Mubarak ranked fifteen
on Stinking Dictators List of Shame
profile official description data states
'15. HOSNI MUBARAK of Egypt:
A senile and paranoid autocrat whose
sole preoccupation is self-perpetuation
in office, Mubarak is suspicious of even
his own shadow. He keeps a 30-year-old
emergency law in place to squelch any
opposition activity and has groomed his
son, Gamal, to succeed him. (No wonder
only 23 per cent of Egyptians bothered
to vote in the 2005 presidential election.)
Years in power: ' 30! Out Out Vile Ruler!
I have seen youthful golden face
of a new virile beautiful Egyptian
President rising like radiant rays
of rising sun amid a golden halo
a young man with a heart tears of
purity will water Egypt like Nile
a young man with a heart tears of
sorrow pain fall for your suffering
Oh Egypt dictators curse is broken
no more will Jackal God Mubarak
steal state treasure gnaw Egypt like a bone
Mubarak blood taints Egypt no more.

Mubarak speaks heartless
as dictator to manipulated slaves
tells people he lied provokes
to incite violence spits Mubarak stays.
Cobra gathers his secret police mean
states I bleed Egypt lean
people watch Jackal God on television
hear vibe lies lacking vision.
An 82 year old incumbent ruin
wearing treasures nation stripped has been
grave baron robber stole Egyptian
money killed Egyptian youth unseen.
