Burning at the very gates of Heaven,
The raging flames of Hell engulf
What two wars and the plague
Could never ****.
Brought down by a careless worker
Who must learn to live
With what he’s caused,
While a city falls down to its knees.
Precious Paris, you wept with us
When the Twin Towers fell, so now
We reach out for your trembling hand
In comfort and in sorrow shared.

I lived through a Cathedral fire where I work, and I know the heartbreak, so my heart goes out to Paris. They may not always treat us nicely but they don't deserve this.
