***********JE SUIS CHARLIE****



you can’t believe it really happened
shots rang in Paris
shots rang in Paris
and what used to be for granted
is from now demanding courage

shots rang in Paris
but the bells refused they calling
empty church  like cross - Polaris
and the desert wolfs are hauling

you cannot shot ideas
only people dying
lights go dawn all over Europe
and the sirens crying

look the lights go down in Europe
you better start believing
shots are ringing in the Charlie bureau
look the Jews are leaving

look the lights go down in Europe
and peculiar war unravel
shots are ringing in the Charlie bureau
scissors brakes on gravel


peculiar war of conflicting lyrics
war that’s fight not by generals in charge
but by journalists, cartoonist, satirists
they will fight this war for us

death brought by laugh
and the words in balaclavas
but the shots are real enough
look : The Nation is like lava

lava walks in columns mate
black and white devoid of meaning
scissors cut incorrect hate
and the paper hides the killing

still we play this little game
when the lights are down already
darkness cully covers shame
so we can keep pretending

Je Suis Charlie or are we ?
look around who’s really grieving
suburbs grow a silent army
you better start believing
