I'M Charlie Hebdo Too Poem by Hebert Logerie

I'm Trayvon Martin, I'm Eric Garner;
And I hate intolerance and violence.
I'm Charlie Hebdo too, dear brothers;
And I practice love and tolerance.

I am against all types of crimes.
I ask God to protect the victims
Of violence, the weak and the poor of the Earth;
The innocent, the artists and the enemies of war.

I'm Charlie. I protest against injustice,
and I practice love and tolerance.
I'm Charlie. I draw caricatures, funny faces,
and I hate intolerance and violence.

I'm for universal democracy,
for freedom and the right to express our happiness and fears;
I am for liberty, fraternity and equality.
I am against barbarism which is criminal.

I like shouting: long live freedom, long live the difference.
I abhor corruption and hypocrisy,
and I practice humor and tolerance.
I'm Charlie Hebdo; I'm Charlie.
