COMPLETE TEXT: "SANCTUARY NO MORE" 

Sanctuary No More
by Frank Elkins ©2019

History and faith aflame –
Devoured by an inferno
of smoke and conflagration;
Iconic steeples crumbling
into the dust of antiquity.

Paris skies blazing –
Paris eyes weeping…

Sanctuary! 
Sanctuary!
Sancturary…
No more.

Over eight-hundred years
of Western Civilization consumed;
throughout the night
in a bonfire of deprivation…

What bell now tolls,
for the death and commemoration
of Notre Dame?
