Pray for peace in Paris - A sonnet about the current reign of terror

The Western world is struck by terror

Cowards are attacking my generation

Bringing ruin to the nation

Refusing the news would be an error

Disfigured corpses where once children were

Hell could break lose at any destination

Impossible to find a bastion

All the world’s a noisy blur

We shouldn’t change our ideology

Refugees are always welcome

Immigration preserves our future

We shall rebuild peacefully

Our togetherness remains solemn 

You’re victims but no martyrs
