Strange New Reality

Taste the wind as it moves through the city Feel the subways rumbling under the street Know that you are an integral part of New York's population Now, terrorists have struck again But we New Yorkers will not let the cowardly actions of a few stop us from taking joy in all the city has to offer The new reality is one of tension but we will not give in to fear To put it in classic terms "We have nothing to fear but fear itself"

Dear Debra I was talking about the terrorists but I think you make a good point - there has been much racial tension in the land. Did you know the last line was from Franklin Delano Roosevelt?
