On this day of commemoration, a day that will forever be engraved in our memories, a poem by Gauvain Sers read during the homage to a professor ( Samuel Paty ) odiously beheaded by a barbarian :

This morning, I followed myself
Under the influence of emotion

Seems we're getting used to
When the infamous is legion
All these downcast men
For the lines of a pencil

Seems we're getting used to
To defend at all costs
The 3 words we read
At the town halls pediments

Seems we're getting used to
When we lack to know
Luckily, we all had
A history teacher

Seems we're getting used to
To the worst barbarism
But I never believed it
And no more today

Seems we're getting used to
To the horrors that we live there
But the innocent that we kill
I don't get used to

The 3 words we read at the town halls : "Liberté , égalité , fraternité" ( Liberty, equality, fraternity )
For the lines of a pencil : Muhammad caricatures
