Three Word Wednesday: Abrasive, handful, loss

It's One Shot Wednesday! Today's words for Three Word Wednesday are: abrasive, handful, loss:

Abrasive, abusive and mean
Not a statesman as he'd overween
But Mubarak's undone
With his loss, they'll have won
In a handful of hope, future's sheen.

Cynic alert: I thought Tienanmen Square was going to turn out well, too.

  6. Revolutions bring upheaval and create vacuums - sometimes filled by statesmen and intellectuals, sometimes filled with other dictators even more harsh and debilitating. The world does not need another country in the region to become a religious oligarchy. Praying for stable times and freedom for the people.

  7. well we can certainly be hopeful; I tend to be more cynical about it all and remember that the people who begin a revolution seldom end it. Oh well, a well written hopeful poem anyway.
