In memory of Father Jacques Hamel

In memory of Father Jacques Hamel

Today Father killed 

By neck slit 

In France 

In red blood 

For whom

The bells toll 

~~~~~~~~~

Lord; this river 

Is blood 

And this man, 

A beautiful priest

In heaven rest his soul 

Our hearts mourn forever 

~~~~~~~~~

Upon this altar

Hallow be thy name 

Thy will be done 

The God of life shall overcome 

To save the innocent from murder

~~~~~~~~~

To sadness 

In memory of 

Father Jacques Hamel

A man of God 

Who brought God 

Lest we Forget

I don't know what I did here Tony 

i just feel for the agony of an elderly man

who was religious and died for it; by some 

idiot who was manipulated. The assailant 

was apparently under house arrest etc; 

I think it's bloody awful and have no 

words left, just raw emotion

awful murder. Thank you your comments are wholesome food for the soul. Luv Jai:)
