Freedom Gained and Lost

They celebrate freedom gained

In the Egyptian square.

There is dancing

And fireworks

In the streets.

 

Yet, at the airport

As plane takes off

 a man looks out

The window and back

At the city

Knowing he will

Never really be free

Again as he lives

A life of exile.

Well done Susan. I think the man should read this in the plane. The whole world must support the Egyptian people who fought for freedom and ultimately gained it. But they should not let it slip off their hands. Thanks again.
