Mubarak; can't you take a hint?

English


Seriously! What good is it to be a king if your kingdom is not yours?
Shouldn’t ruling mean you actually lead and govern?

Aren’t the streets of Egypt loud enough?
Are your little man’s ears too stuffed with conceit?

Don’t you see?

YOU HAVE LOST
power
what you cherished the most
so much more than your own country

YOU HAVE LOST
Respect
then again you never really had it to begin with
and obviously you never even missed it

But most importantly
YOU HAVE LOST
fear
your most treasured weapon
stronger than jails
stronger than guns
stronger than death

And that’s something you never counted on
You confused power with fear
You managed to terrorize people for so long you never assumed, even for the shortest second, one day they would get so devastated and tired; fear would be the last worry on their minds

YOU HAVE LOST EVERYTHING

And you’re on your way to
LOSING your head

COUNT ON IT
COUNT ON THE WILL OF MEN AND WOMEN
MEN AND WOMEN OF HONOR

I pity you
That is something you could have never predicted
because you don’t have honor
so you cannot know its force

Don’t you get that pressuring, terrorizing and killing people
will only lead to people pressuring, terrorizing and killing you

Just like all the unjust kings who came before you
and took people’s submission for granted

That’s the funny thing with submission;
the more you enforce it,
the more you empower people

That’s the reality of tyranny
It is stupid
If it were just a little bit smarter, it would know that the best way to keep people in line is to give them a sense of freedom, even if it is only an illusion

But you are too stupid
You are too arrogant
You are too foolish to understand the power of humility
You are too silly to value people who are willing to respect a leader

You think you are a king
A king people spit on

Don’t you crave respect?
Don’t you have dignity?

YOU ARE RIDICULOUS
A ridiculous, laughable, empty, broken shell of a tyrant

Egypt has spoken
She wants to be free
Honorable men have spoken
They will die for her if they have to

And this Egypt you took for granted for so long
She is vomiting you out

TAKE A HINT, FOOL
And run the hell away
