Merci beaucoup et félicitations, France!

Merci beaucoup et felicitations, France!

Thank you very much for showing the world that the larger, deeper humanity is more important than the narrow domestic walls of nationalism.

Yes, despite all that you have gone through ~

              

To what strange darkness. . .

"Return your sword to its place, for all who will take up the sword, will die by the sword."

a stark darkness
has befallen upon the land,
as the men of honour, 
were looking the other way. . .

blinded by might,
blinded by faith
accursed swords slicing lives,
lives of men like you, like me,
beaten to death at the break of dawn
yet, not a word from the one
at the helm. . .
or his blind henchmen

to what strange darkness
has the men of this land fallen to,
at the break of the day?
