On Friday the 13th of November 2015 in Paris, France, a series of coordinated terrorist attacks took place.

It was horrific, and affected me deeply.
I wrote this in response. I don't believe I've ever posted it before, at least not here and not in this form.
In times like these, I am so conflicted;
inside I am a mess.
I want to go on
With the message of love for everyone,
but at the same time, I want to
Rain death and destruction on those that commit these atrocities. I’m
Human after all. I cannot understand what killing innocent civilians
In theaters and cafes has to do with what has happened in the
Other middle eastern countries, IN THE PAST, or even what
May be going on now; did those people in the theaters
Kill anyone in Syria? Did any of them drop bombs in
Iraq? Even if one or two ex-soldiers were in the
Crowds, would this justify such heinous killing?
I want to curl up into a ball and cry. Why oh
Why can’t men realize that we are all just
Puppets, that it is those who MAKE the
Weapons and the Governments who
Decide to use them (this includes
The Arab leaders too) who are
To blame for all this madness.
When can we stop being
The playthings of the
Puppeteers?
