The Arab spring began with an act of self immolation, by a street vendor in Tunisia by the name of Mohamed Bouazzi, least we judge, right or wrong, just understand what transpired, and learn from it.
Least We Forget
A Lowly Desert Town
An Insatiable Frown
Away from Glamour
The Hustle, The Clamor
In The Middle of Summer
A Tunisian Winter, A Spring Forever
A Flame, A Life
To Reconcile, The Strife
Clawing For Existence
He Gave Up, His Persistence
Corruption, Life’s Stagnation
The Spark, The Self-Immolation
His Freedom Was Never Free
Nor A Polite Plea
His Passion, His Defiance
Forever, His Self-Reliance
Bouazizi, His Deed
A Firestorm Indeed
Engulfed A Human Race
An Enflamed Vision, His Face
