The land of Liberty, Equality and Fraternity
saw it through the prism of its pride and
trust to welcome those whose minds were
not free and whose souls were on lease
to a jealous, possessive spirit of conquest
demanding of its faithful complete and utter
surrender to the sole significance of their
lives; the imperative of martyrdom in the
divine process of taking another's life as
penalty for giving offense to the sacred
memory of one whose message deemed
incontrovertible must only obliquely be
referred to with the utmost reverence. Now
the City of Light is once more in mourning
as grief sweeps the nation with yet another
atrocious admonition of the steep price to pay
when the spirit of acceptance approaches the
cul de sac of entitled retribution for nothing
is free in life without prudent caution, not
even the Republic's most prized free speech.
