Oh how the mighty have fallen,
The bastions of dictatorship in Tripoli , Cairo and Tunis
From the nice ones to the West like Ben Ali and Mubarak,
To the not so nice ones like Gadaffi,
Yet people power is no respecter of persons,
Neither of political allegiance to the ‘international community’
Yea, in the history of the oppressed,
The oppressor just doesn’t know what hit him,
When the oppressed can only take so much shit,
A light shines forth for black Africa ,
Arise and shine, for indeed the light has come,
The comforts of the burgeoning middle class have to be forgotten for a while,
And the needs of your fellow man put in the fore,
That stupid trending topic on twitter has to be shelved,
And revolution has to be embraced,
For indeed the revolution will be twitterizised!
