We gather here in the square, for what we believe. There are shots and bangs but we still remain. We stand together, all are united. If death shall come, I will still stand firm. Until our voices are heard, we shout – we shout! A place of pride and dignity.
Dealing with the same tools as the one before We left before it was finished. “This is a warning! Leave! Go home!” We will stand as the pyramids strong and forever. They try to sweep us away like sand, but firm we will stand. The battle is in the images. The battle is in the stories. The battle is in the scars upon your back.
They want to take back the square Our backs toward the sun When we finally bow down, we all bow together in prayer but just as suddenly, we turn on one another. Anger and arrogance – hijacking our revolution.
They crush us with their wheels but they cannot crush our souls The stand becomes a war The good become traitors, and traitors become heroes.
I wrote this after watching the documentary called "The Square" about the Egyptian revolution that began early in 2011
