We’re letting go of nothing, “Mamfakinch”
The revolution, this evolving dream
In the midst of the this zone of turbulence
Borders deserted, reconquered,
Vast waiting zones to huddled masses for exit and egress
Running away from their dangerous shadows
Prisons stormed, police stations in flame..
As the dance of Spring advances
Love is in the air
Life continues, fear is shed off
We are breathing new emotions of connectedness
Citizens are learning instinctively to get engaged
Taking initiatives, everyone is expert in something,
Hope shines in the eyes
hand in hand, united in coming dreams
Dreams coming true, smiling of real
Dreams of liberty, regained dignity…
Birds of gloom and disaster miles away
Can’t let go of anything
The masses reclaimed Tahrir Square
Reconquering what is their dues in human rights
Weeks of ardent patience and steadfastness, of authentic poems
Will not be swept away by the abrasive first sand wind
The splendid city of light is recaptured
Time for hating, time for war
Love forever
To reconstruct a better world
For every one of goodwill and good faith in others
We claim the liberty of conscience, our guiding rod…
The pen is all mine.
It delineate the Red Lines not to trespass
It satisfies my conscience
It does not submit to authority figures…
Our revolution is not the making of a moment of craziness
And we are not leaving the Square
Sorry citizens, we have been a bit late to react
But we are here to stay
We’re letting go of nothing, “Mamfakinch“
Free at last, free at last…
