Poem
FROM MY ROOF TOP From my roof top I see the world crumbles I saw people of mine shout, endlessly They shout for two common things They shout for these two alone Prosperity and democracy They want an answer and their voices heard But they were denied, all An tears run down my cheek for them.

We have started our calls, our shouts, our protests From Tunisia to Egypt Yemen to Syria Brunei to Georgia Here we come, to demand our pound of flesh That, that has been taken from our toils This day, not waiting, straight for it, now From where they are, hidden. The roof tops of powers As I watch them from my roof top here.....
