This makes three in a row from the same play, but Egypt’s in the news. I envision one possible outcome of the protests.
From Antony and Cleopatra:
Some innocents ‘scape not the thunderbolt.
Melt Egypt into Nile! and kindly creatures
Turn all to serpents!
Shift around the letters, and it becomes:
Men end hell. Constant protesting stunts turn Hosni Mubarak to non-entity. People elect leaders directly.

Speak up, protest, YELL!
Man, son, student, intern,
Hell-bent on steel democracy;
Unrein the long-stint dictator!

Oops, I don’t think unrein is a word. I’ll try another:
Speak up!
Be not silent, relentless students,
Plainly intent on democracy;
Unthrone the long-term dictator.

We’re not sticklers for real words here. Both anagrams are fantastic!

Slightly off topic, but did you know an anagram of “William Shakespeare” is “I am a weak speller”?!

Welcome, Warren!
It’s not off-topic at all, though you do have to use the less elegant construction “weakish” to make the anagram work.
But as I said, we’re not sticklers here.
