Paris

To all who have been touched by evil Paris Liberte, Egalite, Fraternite We shout louder, always love, peace, tolerance, liberte…a world one in unity. We are not afraid of you, we look you in the eye, cold dark eyes of hatred, ideology. Hiding behind your masks of balaclavas the fact that you are dead….thugs seeking to destroy…we are stronger, we shout love peace, tolerance, liberte, so wrap that fact around your head.Armed with weapons of mass destruction, we are armed with something higher. Nothing you can do can ever extinguish, extinguish the fire. Though a blow has hit us, innocent bodies lay in our streets, we rise up…. we rise up….Those were our loved ones most dear, there blood is on your hands…accountable you shall be. Soulless yes, the living dead pity…you have lost your heart…sold out…sold out your humanity a long time ago. The world pauses…uniting, universal humanity….brother and stranger against common foe. You who have lost your vision, the beauty that’s within, never seeing or hearing deaf and blind but your own. Yet moment by moment you are being defeated through a smile across cultures alike, every smile breaking down barriers and arms us in the fight. Our weapons are stronger and cannot be defeated they are love, peace, tolerance, liberte. Pity…..oh pity of seeing without love…. We rise up , we rise up and tell you an outstretched body won forgiveness , the true power of our power found in his love. A love that can never be defeated, with hatred, bullet or sword that’s the true freedom of love. Though there’s pain in loving, it shapes us and shows we deeply care, so make each moment matter, live it, feel it, breathe it,it is your gift of who you are. You don’t experience all that it means to be human truly alive…until you learn it is in loving one another that we grow. We are risen side by side. As we stand united, united in this love….you fire you bullets of hatred that can never touch, the world is united, united in the power….the power that is love. It can never be extinguished or defeated it’s felt within the heart. We stand one with another against your campaign of hate and terror, we do solemnly declare…we speak louder…we speak louder because we speak the language, the language that has power, that language is love.
