'Je Suis Charlie' Poem by Edward Kofi Louis

'Je Suis Charlie'

Rating: 5.0


'Nous Sommes Tous Charlie'
The earth,
Our earth;
Terror! !
With hatred in the hearts of mankind.
'Je Suis Charlie'!
To shoot,
To kill,
What next?
With the ways of mankind like the days of Cain and Abel;
And, Cain killed Abel.
This act of life had never brought us peace!
No, not all;
It rather leads to anger, vengeance and war.
To shoot! !
To kill the one you call your enemy;
But, think before you act!
Yes, think deeply in your heart before you act;
Because, when the rain falls, it doesn't fall on one man's house.
'Nous Sommes Tous Charlie'!
Why do we hate each other?
Why have we adopted the education of hatred in out hearts? !
The act,
To shoot and kill;
Which leads to the destruction of mankind,
And now, you are on the run hiding somwhere.
'Je Suis Charlie'!
And death came around unexpected to some people in Paris;
Because of the terror attack.

Who can explain why we kill each other, and keep doing it. Killing has never brought peace, but like a vine, it branches off into other acts of violence, and finally coming full circle, causes yet more killing. Will we never learn? It's in our nature and cannot be eradicated. But we'll keep asking the question. Well written poem.
