Paris in Defeat

 RANDOM JACK POETRY HOUR: FRANCE

 

Paris in Defeat

 

Sitting calmly at an outdoor café

Watch fire on the streets

It’s just another lawless day

Paris in defeat

 

One wonders how it came to this

Marseille to Paris up in flames

They answered with a brutal fist

It can never be the same

 

A sense of safety compromised

The sense of order gone

The promises now seem like lies

And everything seems wrong

 

The world is turning upside down

The rage is ever stronger

To days of chaos we are bound

It can’t go on much longer

 

Without the world imploding

Like a pressure-filled balloon

The anger is exploding

With a feeling of high noon

 

Maybe we can walk it back

We all face a common enemy

The earth is under grave attack

We should answer to its needs
