History in flames
The spire was the first to go,
buckling like a horrid light show.
History dissolving into ash
Before our very eyes
Thanks to media the whole world knows
Within a few minutes of disaster.
A cultural icon fading like a ghost
Notre Dame in trouble when
Folks need it the most.
Holy Week. The week before Easter.
For me I’d say my Easter was cursed
For the cathedral is burning down.
Forget London Bridge.
The cultural icon of France is falling down,
My fair lady.
Some stats.
Two times as many people visit Notre Dame than the Eiffel Tower.
This place of sanctuary, it’s beauty and glory
Is burning down
Into an ashy mess.
History is in flames before our eyes,
So why do I feel as though
We’ve seen this before?
