For more than two weeks now, the protesters have been tirelessly and creatively chanting, drawing and painting the removal of Mubarak as well as his bloody and despotic regime. The people can’t take it anymore. Now, their demands, which are unquestionably legitimate, have reached a higher tone. The protestors down the TAHRIR SQUARE and certainly throughout the remotest alleys of Egypt want Mubarak to be tried and even sentenced to death!!
So far, the President has remained strangely and stubbornly unresponsive to the people’s call of his immediate departure. I naively believe he might be thinking he’s a real Pharaoh. In this case, certain rituals must be observed before traveling to the beyond. The protesting people are perhaps asked to show more patience because such rituals take time! Moreover, the process of turning Mubarak into a mummy is very delicate and requires the utmost dexterity. After all, the man’s “corpse” is in its eighties and has been decaying since January 25th. His stink has been smelt all over the world. But, a true Pharaoh, according to Pharaonic tradition, must end in a pyramid. So, the people must make more sacrifices and build their despot a pyramid. The problem is most stone quarries in the surrounding areas of Giza have been completely exhausted by previous Pharaohs. No more stones! But, a pyramid must be built for Mubarak, anyway. If he could turn his 70 billion dollars estimated fortune into red “mallime” coins, I dare say his pyramid would look much bigger and higher than the existing ones. If this is not possible, then throwing a bomb on the protestors in Tahrir Square would be fair enough to serve the purpose. A new pyramid worthy of the last of the mummies, Mubarak, would be built with their dead bodies!!!
The Egypians have thrown up their despot and hopefully broken all the bridges tying them to their unglorious and unfree modern past. A promising future is awaiting them and we do sincerely pray other people be inspired by their unprecedented revolution. Good luck to all.
