Friends! The Cairo sky is graying,
The ‘azzan proclaims the dawn
“Write!,” the silent square is saying
“While the honking cars are gone!”
That’s the Cairo I remember.
Now we’re back here, through December,
Ten years older, kids in tow,
Learning what Egyptians know.
Much has happened! Demonstrations,
Hope and fear and pride and rage,
Tyrants’ faces in a cage,
Constitutions, conversations,
Facebook, Twitter, blogs galore.
How to process? Write one more!
