Je Suis Desolee

There are moments
that stand out
from the crush
of life's passage.
Moments that define
a generation,
a society,
an entire world.
Yesterday,
the forces of intolerance
struck a blow
against people
whose only crime
was being
at a certain place
and time
in the City of Lights.
To my grief,
again our world
is being defined
by people who choose
to stand against
a way of life
foreign to their own,
instead of following
the Way of Peace,
as their own scriptures
tell them they should.
