Stockholm London Manchester Paris Berlin Nice

I am an admitted dreamer In my youth, I had hoped to see Stockholm, London, Manchester Paris, Berlin, and Nice. I have gazed in awe at postcards Of these places and its many sights. Wished to win a trip as reward- Being there would have been a delight! Yet now I have read of the tragedies, Of the violence and terror that plague The citizens of these lovely countries My dream coming true is rather vague. There can never be a justification, There can never be fearful acceptance, When killing is used as a valid reason- Then always it will face resistance! There can never be any good in terror, Because people have the right to be free Be it in Stockholm, London, Manchester Or Paris, Berlin, and Nice. Cynthia Buhain-Baello 05.24.17
