Fear Will Not Prevail

No to terrorism.
Thanks to Paris Newspapers and google.

Could this mark a new empowerment in our beleaguered world?

We can see Islam as the true religion of peace that it is.

Je suis Charlie

Arising unitedly to proclaim

Freedom from crushing fear

Release from terrorist’s grip

Now is the time to foil their aim

~*~

The problems of a toxic few

Not restricting our universality

Authentically solid and good people

All religions, nationalities and hues

~*~

Adding our voices to this proclamation

Proudly proclaim our world citizenship

Standing with you, we shall not be moved

 Saying this to everyone without hesitation.

~*~

I AM CHARLIE

I AM CHRISTIAN

I AM JEW

I AM MUSLIM

I AM BLACK

I AM NATIVE

I AM ASIAN

I AM BUDDHIST

I AM ZOROASTRIAN

I AM SUFI

I AM A FOLLOWER OF KRISHNA

I AM ME.
