Strasbourg - in the News!

Under frosty winter skies
Strasbourg shocked by gunshot cries
Three busy streets with shoppers fraught
Will the terrorist be caught?

In this Christmas market, horror stalks
Uneasiness homes in and walks
Among the stalls where people cringe
Sad ending to a shopping binge.

A reminder all is not bright lights
From the Dark Side, danger strikes
For Death is never far away
And life is many shades of grey...

While those with means plan festive spread
Some have no place to lay their head
Re-live the Parable if you're able:
Homeless Christ born in a stable ...

On 11.12.2018 three people were shot dead.
