The Blue, White and Red - I am safe

What's out there for me,

for am safe,

cosily seated on a couch,

enjoying the rains,

the stars and the moon,

untouched by the dangers,

in the opulence of my household.

The bloodshed,

the devastation, the holocaust,

the agony of the homeless,

a mere episode,

for am safe.

As a ritual,

I condemn, I shed a tear.

I am - the Western World.

Facebook has  launched its security check feature and hundreds are being 'marked safe' to the relief of family and friends around the world. People across the networking site have been changing their profile pictures to the blue, white and red filter showing their solidarity and support with the victims and the French.
