I write about what I see…

If you don’t want me to see it

Close the TV channels down

I write about what I see…

If you don’t want me to scroll up and down

Close the internet down

I write about what I hear…

If you don’t want me to listen

Put all the people behind bars

Though I fear, the truth

       May slip through the cracks

This you can see

Your brother your mother your father

Taken away

Live on TV

I  know  I wanted to say something profound

To say something that has never been said

Art Attack.

Kalashnikovs spit deadly hate
Upon the streets of grey Paris.

Je prie pour eux - Je suis Charlie.

A sketch of these disturbing times,
twelve martyrs die for liberty.
The clanging of Notre Dames chimes.
Je prie pour eux - Je suis Charlie.

Bullets of hate will not erase
the sable brush strokes of the free,
dripping red on these bloody days...
