 While some men sank in trepidation
 & banked on medication
 from anxt of separation
 this talib got by
 & advanced through dedication
 enhanced by preparation
 & chants of meditation
 his cognizance high
 the mantra was fly
 like bombs in the sky
 a constant surprise
 this impossible rise
 through the ranks
 steady walkin the planks
 throwing rocks at the tanks
 on the blocks of an occupied
 middle east bereft
 not an olive tree left
 seein theft in the keys
 to the lock he'd kept
 steep steps
 on the stairway to peace
 he slipped
 petroleum made these trips
 that much slicker
 billy crystalized a citylight's flicker
 silly pistols fire a streetfight triggered
 other men to fall off their grandstands
 still he held his ground like a handstand (damn!)

 Amidst military coups
 and the critics of his literary views
 he's pitted
 wary - given very few
 alternatives to violence
 and yet & still he carries on through
 scary obstacles contrary to...
 popular belief
 he can keep a cool head amongst
 grief-stricken war-torn Middle East streets
 sticking by the weak mothers of the bleak
 futureless populace
 confident he speaks (truth)
 through the cracked concrete
 of urban eruptions
 proving that policies of
 curbing corruption
 further the function
 of justice & earning the trust
 of a people who've all been flustered
 & cant move forward
 but still make babies as though its all good
 runnin around barefoot - cant afford sandals
 huddlin by candles to pray
 hey its nothing that a 3arab Superman cant handle

 Like a couple bedoin homes I'm too tense (PUN: two tents)
 Writin up some relevant songs - I do vent
 Waxin poetic on the fact that pathetic
 leaders act sympathetic
 when we know they ain't sent not
 one cent or qirsh of aid to refugees
 pot belly kirsh they lay in SUVs
 not really skilled - who braves the mess you leave?
 what must we say to passover these
 developmental disasters are lyin ahead
 livin in denial like Egyptian Pyramids
 comin to a point where the bubble's gonna burst
 & desalinized water will no longer quench our thirst
 we need a glass half-full for the youth - shine
 an optimistic outlook from the roofline
 like bat signals - till the criminals fade away
 (hey!) here he comes to save the day
