rumblings

Tunisians prospered in the Arab Spring
Egyptians came out worse than they began
for most, the uproar didn't gain a thing
The big show's slowly brewing in Iran.
The Persian Revolution's back in gear
that stalled the week that Michael Jackson passed.
This new wave has no leader, and no fear
The Mullahs may account to God, at last.
Their generation never knew the Shah
and never suffered under his Savak
but they're so over theocratic law
they want the global membership cards back.
The Rightward tide of Sisi, Trump, and Xi
may break a last; the kids want to breath free.
