Hell Fires

Notre Dame erupted in fire
Ghosts gasped in the funeral pyre
For the Devil's horns
Are the Crown of Thorns
Held fast by an angelic choir

With God on top and and ample water on both sides, it was indeed a tragedy. Thank you for reading and commenting! Aloha! Rico

Seeing the spire fall was an experience that re-construction will not erase. Aloha! Rico
