    New York New York

    Why is it towards panic and fear

    You instantly resort?

    When I was a boy

    I used to live in a Muslim country

    Egypt

    Every other summer

    And as for the ascendency of fundametalism

    Most day to day everyday citizens

    Consider it a big bronze age backwards bummer

    Can you wrap your frightened brow around that?

    Political extremism is found and fomented

    All over the whole geo-political, global map

    Most Muslims in their modern yearnings

    Have modern sensibilities

    Based upon modern knowledge

    Modern teachings

    And modern learnings.....
