They stole in, black clad with hearts equally dark.
From different corners of the City of Love—transformed into another level
Of Dante’s vision of hell.
Mute soldiers of hate articulated by AK47s
Brainwashed with false promises of Eden
If they do what ISIS has bidden.
Man, woman, child,
Humanity dressed in full sorrow
Too painful to face tomorrow.
Friday night’s fallout
Will always be remembered as the day
The light went out.

What more needs to happen for the rest of the world to unite? Will this event be enough for peace talks to ignite, or is this just the beginning of a future fraught with more dynamite?
