No Island Keeps Its Silence
by John Shumaker
Are we up to it
Into the fire
with ire
with Eire
with desire
the fierce burning passion
of Freedom
when you throw off your shackles
when you say I'm not going to be afraid anymore
when you're wounded
when you're being pelted with stones
and are ordered to clear the square
when you REFUSE
it is over
it is FINISHED
Eli, Eli
Sabbachtani!
are we up to it
do we sit by and watch
in silence
or do we jump into the fray
BIG History is being made
in Arab Street
tout de suit!
Cairo is eighteen million People
one of largest cities on earth
it is now epicenter
of largest 10 point PLUS
seismic cerration
Earthquake
and tectonic shift
of UPRISING
that will upheave
Old World Dictatorship
ASUNDER
Pharoah Mubarek
the Big THUG
must GO!
Egyptian People are prepared to die
brutal assaults by secret police Mubarek thugs
but the only difference is….
THE WHOLE WORLD IS WATCHING
and the Big Fool
is mired Waist Deep
in the Big Muddy
and MUST
and WILL
GO
only question is
do we sit by and watch in silence
or do we jump into the fray
Dear Friend
this IS the Movement
of our time
send this call to Action to all your Friends
Jump into the fray
in this Day of RAGE
It is OUR Time
Do it Today
No island can keep its silence
AHO!
