JASMINE FLOWERS

Scent of Tunisian Jasmine
flowers is invigorating
as well as exhilarating.
Scent of Tunisian Jasmine
flowers pervaded across
Egypt and invigorated
each Egyptian
and it all
of a sudden injected invigorating Jasmine
fragrance into the veins of
the tired Egyptians and
acted as an energy booster
and each drew inspiration.
‘Rage of the day’ down
almost three weeks,
Tahrir Square turned a rallying
point of the raging Egyptians
who in chorus shouted slogans
demanding the dictator to
step down and flee.
Their emotional outburst like
the eruption of a volcano
with red-hot lava of fury
flowing far and wide
started shaking the
very foundation of the
throne of unwilling
callous, arrogant dictator
their rage and shouts like
an earthquake
followed by deafening thunder explosions
reverberating
across Egypt.
The might of citizens
that much great.
Thirty years of their suffocation
burst like dams
and the position of embattled dictator
started shaking like a ship
in a turbulent sea
at last forcing him
to step down….
Licking the wounds
the dictator of yesterday
has begun his days at
Red sea resort of Sharm-el-Sheikh.
Crowds rejoiced
chanted victory slogans
waved victory signs
lit fire-works across
the land
breathing free.
Crowds saluted Tunisia
crowds wanted inhaling
more and more Jasmine fragrance
like the Tunisians
themselves…
