Battle Clans They came in the night Like twisted ninja’s Selling their honor for terror and fright Blood spilled on Mohamed’s hands The Tower of Paris stands tall Art and culture they shall never fall They wounded the bodies They murdered the babies The symphonies of horrors in the key of D Replaced by waltzes of harmonies in C We bow in sadness to the wounded and dead We never shall forget, the cowards who spread red Tears have been shed, Liberty for a day became stale bread No one shall stain our integrity The fraternity and flag shall always fly free We shall mourn We shall cry We shall bring the devils their justice We shall in the end forgive and never forget For we are the humanity of all of France Laying flowers at the last dance Je me souvien Bataclan

It saddens me that there is so much hatred in the world. I will never understand how anyone could do such an act of violence. This is such a heartfelt poem and a really great write :)

Gosh how the year has flown by Arthur - i know you will never let us forget this terrible night and will honour the dead with your poignant poems. I see Sting headlined there at a concert - great to see :-) hugs Jan xx
