26740 - Barbarity within a church

N. Lygeros
Translated from the French by Vicky Baklessi

Barbarity in a church
has hit again
and slit
the throat
of an eighty year old
priest
who was taken
hostage
without respecting
at all
the Holy place
since its goal
was to eliminate
in this manner
with the knife
in hand
the bearer of the Cross
and the symbol
of the Faith
in a country
where democracy
reigns.
