Posing for the firing squads

Share
One cannot dispute the single-minded resolve of the people across the Mediterranean Arab world for change.  The droves that come out of their homes everyday and face the firing squads are no less sincere in their desire for seeking change than 18th century French or the revolutionaries of Iran. 

I find poetry conveniently missing in the reporting of massacres of protesters in the global media.  There are only brief moments in generations that revolutionary movements occur.  Time knocks on the Mediterranean.  Unfortunately, perhaps the TV, Film and Media industries prefer revolutions nicely scripted through paid writers instead of leaving them in the hands of those posing for the firing squads.
