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?
