Glittering City

My take on Paris and everything around it

Glittering bombs and sparkling bullets
Loki's tricks do not go amiss
agony cried screams,
gore filled streets,
One can say God does not see...
but was this, a god or deity?
I dare say it was a crime of humanity.
Evil, crime, or "jihad" you say,
should not justify death this way.
Gabriel would smile and cast his tricks
turn man against man, making hatred hiss
barbarism, terrorism, evil you claim...
Tell me, tell me who is to blame.
If not politics, or war or culture its self...
perhaps humanity should we not help?
Lend a kind hand, offer a loving word.
Paris is an equal part of this world.
it is a crime of humanity...
the needless death of so many
it is a crime of humanity to make helpless so many.
An angel, a demon, a deity you say...
just offer your hand and call it a day.
pointless squabbles and talks for show
use your words to put plans ago.
Paris is an equal part of this world,
having endured an attack no country should endure
we know the feeling of bearing such trauma,
So lets spread our empathetic love,
and stop debating drama.
most questions are a simple yes or no
to or not to offer your kindness,
let your true heart show.

annalysiar, Thank you so much for stopping by my pages.
I went to see your profile first and then here.
When i read what you wrote, I felt a strong, strong knowing that you had something very special to say.
I also had a knowing that it was so strong that you fight thru the grammar issue ( Supposedly) :-) and that just tells me that you are A Raw Natural writer.

I like that. To me the grammar and spelling thingy is not an issue.. It's the heart of the matter and writing from the soul that overlays all the small stuff.
The grammar and spelling are just clothes.. What important is what lies beneath.

I wasn't surprised to discover the Beautiful Qualities of this poem.
The jest of the poem for me spoke of loving one another and I felt your sincere, out- pouring of Love.
And it is that "Great Love"
That you write from.
Oh yes indeed.. You are to write. Don't ever let the clothes of grammer ever slow you down or think less of your gift.
Just keep letting your heart shine and love with your words.
Thank You for following your calling

Lol yes miss Connie, I am horrible with grammar, that much is true. And I do try. But I'm really glad that you liked my poem it means a lot to me to hear that from a fellow writer. I have to ask though what it is you mean by "great love"..

[Cryingkate]

The Great Love Is the Love for one another. Mind you I didn't say you had a grammar issue, you did :-) I wouldn't know since I have that issue :-)

[annalysiar]

Oh yes my husband says I'm too warm lol you're kind...

[Cryingkate]

Oh But I bet, That's exactly what he loves about you and probably draws his strength from.

Nice message on end of this poem. Yes this world have so many wounds . We need heal them all. If we dont we like humans stop exist. Only love and compassion can stop that virus. Thanks for that.

Oh Mr cilberto...always a delight 😃 should I change the rating?? I hesitated... At first...
I'm really proud of it as I don't do poems about current events, and I do hope you enjoyed it😃
