Leaving the Stage by Raymond A. Foss
After years, decades
lifetimes in control
sudden, in the blink of an eye
lives changed forever
the world watching
in real-time

Leaving the stage
giving in to their demands
their prayers
their yearning for change
for a voice, protesting
to be free, now


February 12, 2011
written at the House of Purpose coffeehouse
Hillsboro, NH
February 11, 2011
a prayer for Egypt
on the transformations of the last 3 weeks and
especially the resignation of Hosni Mubarak
February 11, 2011
