Hosni Mubarak refuses to quit
Thirty long years in supreme power and
Aged eighty-two, like Mugabe, a git
Who can't stop being in sole charge, won't hand
Over the reins. His head is in the sand
A pharaoh never says farewell, but no
Pyramid for him, only protest planned
By his slaves, as he sees them, down below
In Tahrir Square. He thought that he could blow
Out their flame by sacking his cabinet
But in their place, more men as old and grand
And out of touch, except with him. Who knows
The next move? Will the striking workers spit
Defiance till September comes around?
