THE EIFFEL FINGER

After
The Avalanche 
Of Bullets in France,
I held My red sore heart 
In both My hands. The darkest shadows were questioned...
What Shall We do now? 
Amour Vous les uns les autres plus.
You love Each other more. 
Plus D'amour.
More Love. 
Amour

A terrible situation Edlynn, How you would deal with it depends on how much evil you have faced, if you fight it with force you also become calloused.. Jesus knew evil for a long time! even before golgotha' he won through peace He will destroy all next time, yet being God he can create fully.' we only partially.. Let us then create a positive love..'

EVIL MUST BE FACED AND DEFEATED. Running from it or agreeing with it only delays the death it seeks to deliver unto its victims. Great poem.. Solid 7..

Why thank you Robert! Fighting Migrains. The jumping off the bridge (don't worry can't walk), sick to tummy, hyper perception, can't eat, torturous type. Sigh. Hope the shot works & then I shall adore visiting for a good read!

You are right, Edlynn; the way forward has to be based on love, not hate and fear. // Lovely shape:) ~ Regards // paul

Not too many agree. I hear just bomb them off the Map. They don't know much about Islam extremism. The would see that as A SIGN that we were sent to start the apocalypse. Their Faith says that only God can run their government so no voting, no bargains with the UN or ANY government. They fall back to 17th century Muslin codes. Not all Muslins are this way but Isis in an Islam State is this way. Therefore, to bomb them is the war they think God is foretold to send. If one could remove their State then they'd know it isn't their prophecy. We are not dealing with political demands here but religion in totality.

Thank you so much for your comment. I usually will not voice my political opinion in Groups. This one I felt I could because I have done more intense research, than most of us, on Extreme Islam, & the difference between Muslims in belief, and then my French heritage caused me to weigh in here. My USA heritage & the knowledge of the continued dangerous mistakes we have been making was another factor in the write.

Thank you Kim. Crazy to try a Shape poem when all you have is a cell or iPad. It's a tad off but one day I will have a real computer and fix that hand & finger then. HA!
