Hisham Gakh won the title of "Prince Of Poets" as the streets of Egypt were boiling and as Mubarak was being shown the door. He came from a small town and won the hears of his people and the rest of Arabia. His simple folksy poetry does wonders. He captures emotions and tales as they happen....thus nothing is lost in translation. To me, he reads and writes poems in the same style as my grandparents told stories.
His style can be compared to that of Abdel Rahamn Al Abanoody, an Egyptian legend. He is from Qana, Egypt, graduated from Ein Shams University in 2003 where he worked until 2009 before he quit. Hisham has yet to release a book of poetry. But he does not seem to feel the urge to do so, he is well published on YouTube and the social bookmarks.
He seems to picked the side of the people and now coming out in support for the revolution as he did many times before. He is the fieriest critic of the previous regime, calls it out as he sees it. Like the line where he said, your towns cannot afford to buy cooking gas, while Tel Aviv gets the Egyptian gas by close to nothing. Then he says, they do not want us to offend the president....then laughs at those silly justifications.
He ends the poem, we are pushing forward....
