Carnage By the Savages

Parisians were enjoying a lovely evening and their Joie De Vivre was radiating; every joyful eye in the Concert Hall, in restaurants, in cafés, in the Stadium and busy streets captivated stunning images! A revengeful voice rose from within the young, swaying crowd; bullets flew to kill them randomly while outside all windows rattled and glass shattered like crystals! Shot people dropped to the sidewalks: terror had began! Everywhere one turned there was carnage by the savages: some fled to safety as gunshots continued! Chaos spread quickly than fire! Paris the city of " Liberte' " was under siege! Express your sympathy for the French People who have experienced Hell, bring your flag and flowers and light a candle where they were shot and fell; Paris mourns: the Eiffel Tower is darker than the streets that lack their harmony! Paris is that iconic symbol of Liberty which her brave sons fought for so gallantly! My poem is dedicated to Paris: the City Of Lights and Liberte'. Written on 10/20/2015
