God evening friends.  Tonight We have a Poem by David Ligon;

“For Love, For Paris, For The World.”

Our hearts ache for the City of Light

For news that I found sometime last night

Evil and apathy destroying love and innocence

Creating instead fear and hate and an ambience of dissonance

We are not condoning the fact that they chose to inflict pain

And if our pain for the innocent was the sky, it would be more than heavy doses of rain

But my message to all of you is to not react with intensive rage and hate

For our rage and hate makes us bait

Towards another form of evil, known as: Bigotry

The kind of evil that destroys the human heart, soul, kindness and love’s symmetry

And it will make us forget those who are in actual pain

And the pain of the innocent is their heavy rain

We are all still in pain tonight

And our hearts and prayers go out to the people of the City of Light

But regardless, of race, religion, sexuality, and gender

The hearts, souls, and kindness of the innocent should always be remembered

Because in the end, it isn’t evil, hate, and violence that brings people together

Love and Peace will always help us coexist forever.

Goodnight friends.  Thank you David, that was a really nice poem. We’ll see y’all in the morning.
