Egypt...It’s Daybreak

It’s Daybreak
poem by: Freeyad Ibrahim
dedicated to the gallant people of Egypt

Break, break, break
It is daybreak.
Shake, shake, shake
the tyranny crown.
Rend , rip, rive
the idols’ gown.
Beat, beat, beat
The oppressive groan
Under your feet.
The gloomy clouds
drifted away
A new sun shone,
And shifted your night
into a dandy dawn.
Rain, rain, rain
Heavens hail ,
Winds do wail,
Masses , a hurricane ,
never want wane

-------
It’s a new day,
It is new era.
The dauntless young,
fair- and- square,
armed with knowledge ,
found their way,
With care,
Are aware
That
Technology will prevail
The old-fashioned rulers
Will never avail.
---------------------
Oh! People of Egypt,
Your drained colour,
So long pallor,
has turned brown.
Every gash in your body
is a crown,
is a mouth crying:
Down, down.
Every scar
On your backs
every slash
On your breasts,
On your wrists,
Is a shooting star.
That is why
They Soar ,
and flash
in the sky,
and fly
so high!
-----
Youth of fatherland,
turn
and terrify
Your leaders.
Are they leaders,
Or misleaders,
brokers,
Or slaves,
servants,
Or clowns,
Or jokers?
Beware:
Your wounds are tongues
That testify
Of today’s disaster
And register
In the history :
They’d pave the way,
and justify
your fair affair
Until Doomsday
---------
My cherished people:
Rage
No more sobs
No more sighs
rush ,
wage,
Don’t hush,
Smash
your fears,
Change
dash.
And take
The chance
It’s Daybreak.
**********
Break ,
the bars of your jail
don’t wail,
don’t wait,
Shatter your cage ,
Yelp,
Yet a victor’s yelp
It’s a Daybreak
**********
Dear children of Egypt:
Go and Gaggle,
Gaily,
Like the flying blue- birds,
Giggle!
Soar ,
Search,
high sky
and roar,
linger
as a butterfly,
Over
The lotus flowers,
then
Wake, shake, and break
It is Daybreak
