Frying Pan, Fire II

Egyptians aren't lucky being led.
It really bears repeating. Ere the vote
Is counted once again, and ere the gloat
Of satisfied Mohammedans, ahead
Of other constitutions by a mile,
Secularists chasing down the wake,
There really ought to be a double take.
The government beginning is a trial,
Taking out oppression, heeding all
Egyptians calling out for civil rights.
They’re worried yet that all preceding fights
Are now emasculated, and the fall
From favor that Mubarak suffered then,
Is taken by oppressors once again.
