Catastrophe in Nice
On a Bastille Day evening 2016
Carnage was cruelly committed
On a scale never before seen
Along the Promenade des Anglais
Celebrations of freedom and liberation
Turned into a bloodbath by evil unforeseen
Families torn apart and children slaughtered
In the name of a warped Islamic dream
A nation once again is in mourning
Our solidarity and support must be seen
Sing proudly with a heavy heart La Marseillaise
Liberty equality and fraternity will live on
Give peace a chance – Vive la France

Hi John - We could do with some of Voltaires wisdom in these dark days. The truths of religion are never so well understood as by those who have lost the power of reason.
