A Poem for Paris : France under Attack

On 13th November 2015,  a series of coordinated terrorist attacks occurred in Paris, France claiming the lives of 126 innocent people. My prayers go out to the victims and their families.

When you visit Paris you can't help falling in love with the city. I penned this poem to show solidarity with people of France :

City of Light is in plight
This morning Paris is in mourning
La Seine seen silent like never before

But Eiffel tower would not cower
Champs-Elysees is for champions for ever
Cobbled stones on the streets would not wobble

The Pyrenees will stand tall as ever
The Arc De Triomphe will always stand for triumph
Vive La France! Peace & Love! Paix & Amour!
