Je ne suis pas Charlie Hebdo
I will stand against terror staunch opposing rule by fear but I will not stand as those lost, whose blood, still warm, astonished nations rightly grieve
that they could laugh at fear is courage of highest strain bold standard for all who live but I cannot respect their work of pouring hate upon hatred
evil is evil, in whatever guise whether violent drawing blood whether violent drawing lines neither the other’s just cause either a poor response to hate
serving hate, both gun and pen are worthless to redeem or save owning both the same vile lord knowing not love, blinding eyes to forgiveness’ blessed balm
yet our every act must be in love must be salve instead of salt lest we serve the lord of hate ignore the love about us thrown consigning life to death
I will grieve for Charlie Hebdo (as for countless nameless more) but I will not adopt their hate nor stoop to depths so low that I fail to see or serve my God
rather, in all seasons, favoured or not yield my hate to God’s great love forgiving those who seek my harm that the love of God in Christ revealed may by all be seen in me
Je suis racheté
