Woe to the Arab Spring
Man does not lift the earth, only drill between
and make their pockets in the Arab Spring.
A swamp that is dry as clay
or blood encrusted.
And liberty suspends
a devil before the harem quarter
and erases the virgins with the whores
and the queen whips in a funnel whisp.
Until a dune in the Eastward blow.
The pretty grain chokes the cannibal,
the Lord that destroyed the good and the bad
in protest.
From the broken seal, unskilled demons loose their bounds.
So be liberty that the Arab Spring
with our lady copper
summoned worse than inequality and a black eagle over the Arab fields.
But the withering of autocracy
by which there was no natural order left to the land.

Thanks.
I was thinking of something to write.
I ended up thinking Arab Spring. And from there, it just flowed.
The Arab Spring got rid of dictators and replaced them with terrorist groups.
And we supported it for Democracy even though in the end, there was something worse than a dictatorship. So maybe Democratic governance isn't for everywhere. Because the Arab Spring only freed people to die in Civil Wars and then be invaded by countries, companies, terror groups that the dictator was able to hold back.
