Poem Title:
Poem
The raging beast of fear in darkness was Conceived Its father: Terror Its mother: Ignorance, With the black milk of hate was it Breastfed, By wrath was it, nurtured By fanaticism its character was forged And Its soul saturated was with repugnance Thus The deformed prince of gloom, once matured, A menace to humanity grew up to be, Threatening the beacon of civilization to Extinguish by: Terrorizing Torturing Burning Raping Enslaving Decapitating Executing, All this, in the name of a God that the brute doesn’t Even understand, So It demanded the whole world to kneel in dread BUT Humanity didn’t succumb United, in its finest hour, marched on, Unyielding Unafraid Uncompromising Proud and Free, Sending thus the message to the kingdom of gloom that Its days are numbered For One ray of light, mightier it is than any amount of darkness And easily could obliterate beast’s obscure empire at a blink Of the eye Because GOD is not HATE and DARKNESS But LIGHT and LOVE! © Demetrios Trifiatis 16 JANUARY 2015 *In memory of those who were slaughtered by the evil children of the beast, be they Christians, Muslims or Jews! **Dedicated to all those who marched in Paris and elsewhere and all those who felt In their heart, the solidarity with those who marched! The whole world shouts: Je suis Charlie!
