The protests in the arab world are inspiring.

Bad government

The scream inside builds
Blown up with indifference
The pressure needs relieving
Looking for an outlet
Looking for salvation
Years of oppression crack the foundation
Rules for freedom abridged
Free thoughts in shackles
Murder in the marketplace
Martyrs find heaven
Government sanctioned assembly
Bystanders not welcome
Censored change hits the wires
Ruling authority asserts privilege
Protesters cry in a rain of blood
Red tears fuel the rage
Courageous umbrellas unfurl
Fear imposed bans ignored
Memories of repression wake slowly
Indifference dies a quick death
Old pain gains new life
Freedom lives on the street
Societal chains broken
No more denial
No more lies
No more
