God,
One is expelled from parliament, for alleged wrongs.
One is released from confinement, alleged wrongs dismissed.
Hundreds are displaced from home, for no alleged wrong but existence.
God, intervene.
If Sadat is a criminal may he have his day in court. If he is simply silenced direct his voice.
If Mubarak is a criminal give justice to the protestors. If he is rightly judged restore his reputation.
If Copts flee crime in Sinai preserve all left behind. If they are vilely treated vindicate their faith.
God, contest.
Defend the weak and innocent. Promote the pure in heart. Discern the truth from falsehood. Dismiss the chaff from wheat.
In politics, justice, and civility guide.
Give her good men to govern.
Give her wise counsel to rule.
Give her your peace to compose.
High and mighty, poor and lowly – humble, strengthen.
Where there is allegation, prove. Where there is wrong, right.
Where there is existence, bless. For Egypt and all Egyptians.
Amen.
