Nous sommes Charlie

The word, the pen,

the ink, the print

The smile, the nod,

the wink, the link

Freedom,

respect

Liberty, fraternity, equality

Opinion

Religion

The shots, the cries

The shock, the tears

Religion, yet disbelief

Opinion, yet censorship

Satire, yet sadness

Sad, so sad, that desperation leads to religion,

religion leads to fanatics

fanatics lead to chaos

chaos leads to desperation.

We remember who they were

We remember what they did

We remember why they did it

We respect them. We honour them. We miss them.
