Seeds

Freedom, freedom of expression
And the universal right to share their opinion
Five artists, talented and insolent,
With a bullet in the head suddenly fell silent.

Even when threatened for their satiric drawings,
Never gave up, always remained standing.
As one of them said isolently :
"I'd rather die standing than live on my knees."

Yesterday twelve men were killed
Because they were determined and strong-willed
Policemen trying to protect others
Died at the hands of their human brothers.

But their attempt to destroy Charlie
Is just a failure, as everyone can see
Anger and support spread out at an incredible speed
They tried to burry them, but they didn't know they were seeds.
