Twilight Fantasy

Original Poetry

I now know why the night sky is so dull, so dark.
It’s because you caught all of the stars kissing the night sky
in your eyes, as you stand right before me.
Unreachable and yet so nearly within my grasp.
A galaxy of forgotten dreams and
seductive promises gleam from those hazel-hued eyes.
The sweetest dream, yet to be had
forever to haunt.

As a Muslim, I am outraged at the attacks that took place in France. There is no justification for murdering innocent men and women, especially not in the name of religion. The intention of these terrorists is to evoke fear and panic, however, they achieved quite the opposite; people across the world publicly united in their condemnation against fanatical extremists. Of course, I do not approve of their blasphemous cartoon: portraying the Prophet as gay is controversially distressing, not to mention disrespectful. Nonetheless, to retaliate against a cartoon from years ago with murdering the cartoonists and other innocent men and women is disgusting and disgraceful.

We will not be isolated in our condemnation of terrorism. We will stand together, united, in our disgust of extremists committing murder on a daily basis. Killing innocent people will achieve nothing other than increased anger. We have had enough, and we will stand against you until you fall.
