Libya is at last feeling that it's free
From Benghazi to Tripoli. The grip
Of 42 long years of Gaddafi
Is almost loosened, its last fingertip
Clings as he prepares to fall off the cliff
The Transitional National Council
Is talking to NATO on how to slip
Painlessly from dictatorship to full
Democracy, with the quite difficult
Aspiration of that democracy
Not yielding to that backward-looking trip
Into theocracy, or some tribal
Split which would make more martyrs. Now to see
If the Syrians can pull off the same trick
