dear mr president

the eye does not dry
the throat still aches from captivity
the stomach still feels the sadness
my heart aches beyond the measure of nationalism

the great nation of mine has been humilated
i can complain as much as i want about my country
but i do not want to hear a word of negativity from an outsider

we have been hurt and we want revenge
please mr president do not let this pass too
the people are sad
please show the world mr president the the egyptian has a price

the nile is begging you for a stance
the pyramids are waiting for a reaction

Egypt is asking about how the people will respond
the pharoes are looking down from the sky in shock waiting to see dignity back to their grand children

i always knew how much i loved Egypt but now i understand how deep my love is
when everything crumbles the smallest thing can make the people explode

we are filled with sadness rage and anger over the dignity of the egyptian that was destroyed in sudan

this land is full of talent and love
this land is full of history and potential
this land is full of culture and warmth
this land is fruitful
this land was mentioned in the Bible in the Torah and in the Quran
this land carried jesus and Mary
this land promises stardom for all the artists
this land needs to regain the dignity of its people 


this land is begging for change, for a stance, for heads to be held high again.
please mr president do something our hearts are crushed!!
we can not move on!!

  1. for some reason i can't think of a more suitable thing to say rather than


    قد أسمعت لو ناديت حيا ** لكن لا حياة لمن تنادي

    translation :

    you would have made one hear if you were calling for one who's alive

    however there is no life in who you are calling


    and i do agree that enough is enough !

    and hope the straw that breaks the donkey's back comes very soon ..
