NICE
It was love at first sight
The perfect trifecta
Art Nouveau architecture, pink buildings and the blue, blue sea
I fell hard, how could I not?
Nice is so nice…
And now evil has come again.
To where innocents where, just like before,
And where I was just like them a few years past
On the Promenade des Anglais, enjoying the festivities of the night except
without a visit from evil.
On that night there was only joy… there was, there was music, there was dancing in the street… my feet would not keep still.
I turned in movement and next to me was a young girl, maybe 10, who had caught the rhythm too.
We grabbed hands and danced together.
How I wish the world could dance together
-each to their own steps and respectful of the steps of others.
How I wish it is, is not as is now,
a twisted belief that the only way to feel good is to harm one another,
in words or in deeds.
My heart is once again broken by humanity.
Still, I need to go on seeing the wonders of the world.
For France, for me, for mankind
I need to believe
One World, One Day
