Mubarak trusted Clinton had his back
when ArabSpring dragged other despots down
Mukhabarat was primed for an attack
when Egypt roared for him to cede the crown
Obama called her home to have a chat
about priorities in the MidEast
just 'cause she dislikes CHANGE must not mean that
the U.S. is in bed with her pet beast
Obama flinched, the Saudis won this round
installing their man Sisi on the throne
now journalists are gagged, as well as bound
and Morsi rots in his dank cell, alone
democracy world-wide seems in retreat
until the next spark lights the ArabStreet
