My Egypt

August 25, 2013

We've seen it happen,
in Palestine,
in Burma,
in Iraq, once
long ago.

Never, I 
thought.
Never, I  
said.
Never would I expect
it happening to 
Egypt.

A place I found
happiness,
I found
friendship.
I found 
peace, a
state of mind.
I found 
love.
Religion.
Devotion.

Slowly, I see
it going
away.
I feel it
falling out of
my
grasp.
Out of
my mind.
A future once
so bright, so full,
now so
dim. So
bleak.

Beautiful 
souls, lost
one by one.
Never, I 
thought.
Never, I  
said.
Never would I expect
it happening to 
Egypt.
A place I found
happiness,
I found
friendship.
I found 
peace, a
state of mind.
I found 
love.
Religion.
Devotion.
Faith.
