City of Love grieves - Mourns
Lovers laid low - Killed.
By wanton terrorists
Without reprieve - Wounded
Our hearts bleed - Tears
Paris is Strong
History tells of - Warfare
Invader, a Nazi - Neighbour
Black boots in - Boulevards
Ruled savagely - Executed
Resistance & removed Jews.
Paris is Strong !

I will never understand the mind or soul or a human being who could do such evil things.
ReplyDeleteUnfortunately Janet, there are people who are capable of behaving badly, we only have to read up modern history, never mind ancient history.
DeleteI wondered yesterday why we are so much more appalled by these attacks in Paris than we have been about the thousands dead in Iraq and Syria, for I am too. Then I realsed it's because those deaths have always been 'there'. It's been their war, not ours. These horrible attacks in Paris (including the Charlie attacks) have moved the theatre of violence to 'here'. We shouldn't be more horrified by these deaths, but we are. It's natural. This is Paris and not Baghdad. Paris belongs to us all. A beautiful tribute, Mel.
ReplyDeleteThank you Val, Paris is an iconic city and these criminals seem to take pleasure from destroying icons.
ReplyDeleteMay Peace, Joy, Hope and Happiness be yours during this Holiday Season and throughout the New Year.
