in states assumed corrupt /tyrannical
where people come out in their streets
and request democratic reforms
They are shot,beaten, imprisoned
yet they persist .@funerals,they choose
to remember the Nedas of this world
shot in to the next through innocence
They only ask for democracy...
In Egypt,they get military dictatorship
In Iran,patriachal Fundamentalism/secret police
In Libya,civil war.In Yemen/Syria-bullets
In Bahrain-police and army(like Qatar
The question for us is this-who told them?
Who speaks this language "freedom"?
China, terrified,arrests everyone
Yet GOOGLE shows a larger world than communism
Great Firewalls of China fall like Jericho
when Wikileaks and Tweets add to Facebook and Nets
and we who colluded with their torturers and jailers
must now consider who to bribe-from Sudan to Washington
we are no longer top dog
just a pack of barking animals
howling @inevitable changes
as wolves ,the moon,and worlds beyond control
make us smaller in the scheme of things
and question who can be bought and sold.
