For France and Liberty
For France and Libertè
Bloodbath of hearts, young, old and hard working,
Pit of despair with anger, death and evil lurking,
Why France, why that small country?
Lights cut off, silence punctuated the gunshots,
Which killed, and where so many became hotspots,
You are malevolent with no gentry.
France has always been known for free speech,
For America’s liberty and Piketty’s wealth screech,
Continuing to embrace the many;
A hard intervention policy on Syria for the following,
Of other nations which did indeed with them ring,
For a Syrian democracy brawny.
And recently, Qatar only won the FIFA football bid,
Because France validated them to Blatter, the top lid,
Qatar gave them money for ISIS;
The freedom found in France must not diminish,
Right must be fought for to dictatorship abolish,
Our lives may just be the thesis.
