Tennyson wrote this centuries or so ago, and I ran across it during the Moslem riots in France. We've been at war, Christians, Jews and Moslems, for a very long time. It seemed timeless, so I decided to try to make an updated version of my own with the same original spirit that Sir Alfred managed to put into it...somehow.

Beautiful city, the centre and crater of European confusion,
O you with your passionate shriek for the rights of an equal humanity,
How often your Re-volution has proven but E-volution
Roll
