You can't kill the spirit

Paris, 7th January 2015.
The day they tried to kill freedom.
They don't know this song:
“You can’t kill the spirit*
She is like a mountain
Old and strong
She goes on and on”...
Words from long ago
Come to mind on this day.
We might add:
The spirit has no colour
Or rather, she is all colours
The spirit has no religion
Or rather, she belongs to them all
She, or he, is the spirit of freedom
Present in all our souls
Since the dawn of humanity
You can’t kill the spirit
We are all the spirit
Nous sommes tous français
Nous sommes Charlie Hebdo
(*see original song on http://www.theguardian.com/uk/2007/may/17/greenham.yourgreenham1)
