Overactive Arabs
Written by Ahmed Naoual
We used to keep a low profile,Watching the world go by.
Nice show, very showy indeed,
This western world,
You'd hear us say, nodding our heads
In appreciation-and disgust.
But we never took part;
Too busy living in our past,
Licking age-old wounds,
Whining, sometimes, in agony
And in despair,
In our little corner of the world,
Far from the festive crowds
Of the wild western world.
