Call for peace

These wars must end. Stop the genocide!

Rivers of blood and bitter tears flowed enough. People are killed by bullets. We should think about the future, about a better life for children. Do constructive things, don't destroy everything in your path. The war changed the world, but not literary values. Every day we are more and more devastated to see so much human suffering, anxiety, despair and destruction. Most of the women and children were forced to flee the war to other countries. Our hearts, our emotions go out to all these innocent victims. On the one hand, we have a heavy heart. We have to keep our heads clear. The war changed the world. Stand in solidarity with all the victims of too many wars in our fragile world, appeal to world political leaders.

We want Peace, we don't want war
5

We want Peace, we don't want war

Let's give Peace a chance!

The immense deliberate destruction, but above all the thousands of lives lost - soldiers, civilians, men, women and children must prompt all the world's political leaders, the entire international community, to take a firm stand against the atrocities, but also for the responsibility of those who produced them. Join the rest of the world for peace. Let's give freedom a chance, let's give a better life a chance, let's give children a chance for education. We hope that the Euro Atlantic political forces can find a way for a peaceful dialogue. People cannot be dictated when and whom to fear, when and whom to pity. No state has so far been able to control people's feelings. Instead of flying pigeons, we see flying rockets. The world we live in will not improve with war, only with peacekeeping measures.

With strength and courage we cry for Peace.

We want peace!

We want Peace, we don't want war

Desaparecidos

Scomparso il tuo nome cancellato. Identità rubata alla storia al pianto di tua madre, alla gloria.

Scomparso nel silenzio della notte, fra le mani della morte, nei campi di concentramento.

Scomparso disobbediente, contestatore, o solo diverso, nemico di ogni dittatore

Scomparso nel volo della morte. Corpo caduto dal cielo fra le correnti del Rio de la plata, nelle gelide acque dell’Atlantico.

Scomparso fra le braccia vuote di una mamma. Il tuo nome, il tuo ricordo

We want Peace, we don't want war
8

We want Peace, we don't want war

nel suo pianto, Plaza de Mayo, il suo canto.

Scomparso fra enormi cumuli di ossa, fra mille croci anonime, nei gulag russi, nelle foibe triestine.

Scomparso fra le ceneri di Auschwitz, nelle camere a gas di Dachau nel ghetto di Varsavia.

Scomparso in una vasca di calce viva nel lager di Fenestrelle. Cancellato dai libri di storia.

Scomparso qualunque sia la tua Nazione, la tua resistenza, la tua storia, nel cuore conservo la tua memoria. Desaperecidos.

I cingoli dei carri armati

Forse, sotto l'asfalto tritato dai cingoli dei carri armati dei germogli nasceranno, quando da tempo, negli antri bui dei palazzi bombardati resiste ancora un solo valoroso soldato.

Fra le macerie, combattono uomini armati forse veterani o volontari. Forse, qualcuno li ha semplicemente obbligati. L'uno contro l'altro, impauriti, disperati. Fra di loro uno vincerà e conquisterà una terra dove l'altro ha seppellito i suoi morti, ha piantato le sue croci. Forse ritorneranno le giovani madri fuggite a piedi con i figli.

Forse, troveranno un marito da abbracciare o neanche una croce sulla quale piangere.

We want Peace, we don't want war
10

I bimbi torneranno a giocare nelle piazze, sulle pozze di sangue da tempo cancellate. Forse, sotto l'asfalto tritato dai cingoli dei carri armati un germoglio si fa strada portando alla luce un fiore. Presto nascerà il fiore della libertà avrà mille volti diversi. Presto, la guerra avrà conquistato quattro pagine in un libro di storia. Ci sarà un tribunale per i vinti e i vincitori. Qualcuno giudicherà, assolverà i giusti e condannerà chi ha sbagliato. Le carceri avranno i loro criminali. Le Nazioni celebreranno nuovi eroi e commemoreranno nuovi martiri.

I nostalgici ricorderanno

In clandestinità il loro leader criminale. Nasceranno nuove piazze con monumenti dedicati ai caduti, dove ogni anno un nuovo Presidente poserà una corona di fiori e un nuovo Papa si inginocchierà a pregare,

We want Peace, we don't want war 11

We want Peace, we don't want war

chiederà perdono ed ammonirà: mai più nella storia dell'umanità. I bambini scampati alle bombe diverranno anziani sopravvissuti, racconteranno la loro guerra daranno un volto e una storia a quei nomi ammassati su una lapide, erano Uomini e Donne e, qualcuno, piangendo dirà: la mia mamma é morta per la libertà, questo soldato era il mio Papà, ma nessuno gli darà ascolto. Gli Stati torneranno ancora a fare le guerre, ed avranno ogni uno la propria terra dove seppellire nuovi morti. Quando, sotto l'asfalto tritato dai cingoli dei carri armati, in un paese lontano nascerà un germoglio e porterà alla luce il fiore della pace, saremo forse troppo distanti per credere che si possa morire in guerra da soldati, fratelli, l'uno contro l'altro schierati. O da civili indifesi, donne, bambini e anziani schiacciati dai cingoli dei carri armati.

12

Naufrago in una tempesta di miserie umane.

Una lacrima che cadendo muore inghiottita in un oceano di pregiudizi.

Una mano tesa verso l'indifferenza, trascinata a fondo da un corpo che annega nel mare dell'odio, nel mare dell’indolenza.

Immigrato

Avrei dovuto abitarci con l’anima nei tuoi pensieri nelle tue emozioni nei tuoi desideri nelle tue paure,

We want Peace, we don't want war
13
Stupro

We want Peace, we don't want war

come un devoto che entra nel tempio della sua divinità.

Ma più facile è stato occuparti come una stanza d’albergo, dove mai sarei tornato una seconda volta, lasciata all’ultimo minuto, incurante di non aver tirato neppure lo sciacquone.

Come un diavolo che abbandona una chiesa sconsacrata.

Temporale estivo

Ci sono giorni dove la luce ha origini sconosciute e le nuvole si increspano ovattate disegnando metafore congeniali ai più fantasiosi. Nel silenzio fuligginoso

14

We want Peace, we don't want war

i pensieri si trascinano su sentieri asfaltati di sogni e la vita resta sospesa in un'atmosfera uggiosa. Come in una cartolina in bianco e nero tutto ha un sapore remoto ed il rumore dei colori tace.

Ci sono giorni che mitigano l'estate con scrosci d'acqua improvvisi e fulmini che squarciano il cielo, adatti a far respirare la solitudine, l'abbandono, l'arretratezza che già persiste nell'aria prima che si spengano anche gli ultimi fuochi fatui.

Bogdana Găgeanu

Romania

BIOGRAPHY

My name is Bogdana Găgeanu. I am a writer. I have received many international awards and national awards. I published in many anthologies.

I had interviews with Ayo Gutierrez, Loi Monroe, Gelda Castro, Dennis Brown, Helen Sarita,Dustin Pickering,Veronica Pingol.

Some of my poems were recited by Alan Johnson.

I was the coordinator of the First International Congress of Poet, organised by Lenuș Lungu.

We say „Peace”, but we action as war

Do we really know what does it mean the word”peace”? Do we understand the real value of this word?

Some of us use it just in theory but not in practice. We just like being semn as peaceful people but we do not prove it. That is why war starts . Peace means to not conquer other territory, to respect other territory and its value. Peace does not mean to be superior to others.

We want Peace, we don't want war
16

We want Peace, we don't want war

If we make war,, we destroy the harmony of the Universe. The war starts because some of us want power, not harmony. When somebody wants power, that person wants to become the supreme leader of the world.In this case, power means distruction. Peace means living a normal life together, with borders of respect and unity when it comes to humanity.

Do you have conscience?

Do you have conscience

When you kill somebody?

Do you feel guilt?

Maybe you will receive a trophy

And have a bigger function

But you won’t have the silence of your soul. Because that spirit wants justice

To be restored and it will be haunting you.

The giving gift

When you give, think about happiness

Think about a smiling face

Think about the comfort

Think about a barefoot wearing a shoe

17

We want Peace, we don't want war

Think about a hot soup in winter time

Think about a cake for a homeless birthday

The giving gift means the warmth

The warmth of restoring hearts.

Plenty space

There is plenty space

Plenty space in my heart

If you want to join me.

I know it is a modest space

But it is filled with love

Because my heart is kind And it is bigger.

Kindness makes it bigger.

What would you...

What would you buy?

A car or a book?

What would you give?

Your life or your conscience?

What would you be?

A spirit or a machine?

What would you do?

Would you copy or would you change the rules

Even I have participated in a poetic marathon called *#Pet Me Not Leave*.This event brought me immense pleasure and instilled confidence.

Stop holocaust, stand for peace

Is the Holocaust justified?

No religion is infected

With affection, love and mercy

Nature’s pure proportions Are just that…

For their stupidity

For their cowardice

And for their bullets

The innocents are becoming victims

The terror may have been

A moment of triumph

But, it is neither real victory

Nor eternal

Humanity is the foundation of any religion

25

We want Peace, we don't want war

Religion is the source of kindness

They cannot make this world of their own

By sucking the blood of orphans

The helpless and the destitute

Dear folks give up your persistence

Instead, join hands for peace and prosperity of all.

Humanity and human beings (a short essay)

Humanity is nothing but the ability to forgive others in their grief. How does true humanity manifest itself?

Humanity is the capacity for compassion. However, this quality should not be confused with mercy.

The one who shows mercy to others sees them as inferior, unable to trust their power. A compassionate person is one who understands the feelings of another.

But, in most cases where there is no room for understanding, true humanity manifests itself. Humanity is also concerned about the care of older children and their aged parents.

Another source of humanity is nothing but morality.

Previously, it's believed to be the law of relationships between *The God and The Human Beings*.Everyone has this quality and its basis is nothing but, conscience. Morality always protects our spiritual and mental health. This quality helps us to strengthen the human relationships

26

We want Peace, we don't want war

we remain just a member of this Universe. Why don’t we establish a Universal Brotherhood?

Humanity is an acquired and conscious expression, and it's formed in the process of socialization and education of the individual on the example of significant authorities and it's the highest quality and the human dignity. It's a personality trait and characterized by moral and ethical principles that express humanity in relation to people's daily relationships. The quality of humanity includes kindness, self sacrifice for the good of others. Helpfulness, honesty, compassion, generosity, respect, humility etc. The people are different sometime strict, sometime lenient and sometime cheerful and good natured.

Humanity is the strength of personality and the value of consciously appearing and its expression enriches life.

Either it helps a person or the animal to save their lives. Or it focuses on the status and need of friends and strangers even. So, I hereby would like to proclaim that we all the human beings cultivate humanity *First Be Man* is a great saying of Swamy Vivekananda, a great Indian Hindu Monk and a philosopher.

forever?

Oh God!

Where are you?

While there is injustice in the world

And the lawlessness

27
Will you be here

We want Peace, we don't want war

Despite the difference

You are here without seeing

What nation has worshiped you? Is society changing? Is life changing?

Moving harder? Nothing Oh God!

First make him human being Tell him to learn to live What did God give me? What else did I do?

Instead of being weary What did I do to someone?

Sit in silence

Let him consider himself Oh God?

If a man realizes his mistakes Then he will be saved

This society is also uplifting God, will you be here forever?

Need a serious discussion a short essay)

The main reason for war and communalism is nothing but the lack of communication. It fueling the flames of *International Conflict*. The direct exchange of ideas between the two or more countries is reduced. They rely on

28

We want Peace, we don't want war

second class media that transmits twisted information about each other. These second class medias include not only the provocative speeches of political and religious leaders, but also the print and electronic media. Now social media has also been instrumental in spreading misconception and rumors.

Religious class in the meantime a system of direct, broad and continuous exchange of ideas is required at all levels. This mutual exchange must take place at the highest leadership and intellectual level and at the village level and on the streets and at the grassroots level. There should be a permanent system of such exchange of ideas. If necessary, misunderstanding each other at the right time and quickly.

There is also a need to convince the neighboring countries of the seriousness of the problem.

Many countries are involved in intense internal strife and this fire is now uncontrolled by any country in a vast globe. The fire can be taken away by any country. This can make the dreams of the minorities as well as the dreams of majority. Therefore, no matter what the political stance of the people, all must unite to fight against racism and communalism on the social level. It’s necessary to convince the people of the countries that this tendency is fatal to the whole globe. The rule of law is the most important foundation of any civil society and the collective responsibility of the society or country is to resist the lethal tendency of law enforcement. Influential people of all the classes must be brought forward to create

29

We want Peace, we don't want war

communal harmony in society. Intellectuals social and religious leaders, women, student leaders, journalists, advocates need to be activated. There should be serious discussion in the open environment on matters of rational and religious disagreement.

Fight for peace and prosperity

Blood is blood

Whether it’s poor man Or the rich, it’s red All human being s Are bom to live But, while growing They become different Some becomes rich And some becomes poor The hierarchy begins within People starts discriminate

People starts hate

Why these differences among folks?

Why the war?

Though he knows That it brings us mar

Whether the war happens In the East or the west Or it happens in the North or the South Wherever it happens

30

We want Peace, we don't want war

It bring us bloodshed

And destroys the peace among the folks

And broken the hearts of the innocents

We are advanced in Economics We are advanced in Politics

Advanced in Arms and Ammunition

What’s there in the celebration of victory?

What’s the point of the defeat?

Whatever the development... But, we failed in bringing hearts closer

Join hearts with join hands

Let us change our perspective And all fight for peace and prosperity.

31

Radha Raman Singh India

War must be the last resort

Conflict and confrontations

Battles and wars

Have remained on this Planet Earth Since time immemorial At every juncture of history And the same would exist Somehow, somewhere.

History of human civilisations

Has witnessed

Battle and war Less or more, near and far

As long as Human ego and arrogance persist Lust of power would exist, Conflict is bound to proliferate Consequently, war is ultimate threat.

We want Peace, we don't want war
32

We want Peace, we don't want war

Preamble to the Constitution of UNESCO Reminds us all

"Since wars begin in the minds of men That in the minds of men, Defences of peace must be constructed " We have deliberately forgotten Lessons from disastrous Consequences of the two World Wars in the past

That war mustn't be The first option but the last.

Eradication of war From our pshyche Is as Utopian as Creation of Utmost just and equal society.

Be that as it may Let's not give up For we have dreams to live up.

War is a man made disaster

Unleashed by man Imposed over mankind Where winner is none Lost by one and all.

Let's all come together To veto the vicious Veto To weed out and vote out

33

We want Peace, we don't want war

This tool of threat by the P 5, To the rest of the world. This Veto is panacea for the P 5, But which prima facie Degrades and berates Negates and denigrates That very motto of This world body, the UNO "Only One Earth".

Let's all come together To make an all out effort To resolve that War must be The last resort.

Terror is terror only

First you create, nurture, support and promote terror

To intimidate, insulate and run down your rivals Keep them under check Restrict and repress your adversaries And call them good terrorists.

34

Post disintegration of USSR

You became Big Boss Of this unipolar world And started dictating the terms.

When it boomeranged on you At the cost of colossal loss of lives and property

Only then you felt the pangs of terror

You declare war, Forge a global alliance To tackle the terror Bombard and destroy Wherever you like, Whoever you choose

It's alright, not even iota of protest You wage the war against humanity Continue to occupy The territories sans borders UNO ignored and bypassed Universal Declaration of Human Rights Sidelined and undermined Geneva convention forgotten.

Under the garb of restoring peace

You unleashed the unspeakable terror Exploited and robbed their mines and minerals,

We want Peace, we don't want war

35

We want Peace, we don't want war

Left them in lurch Land absolutely barren n worthless Region resourceless and regressive Populace perplexed and hostile. And then starts unipolar world order Rather than tanks and missiles Modern wars are won with Narratives and rhetorics

Peace like oxygen

Let there be peace anywhere, everywhere. But only to those Who deserve it, Who can conserve it Since it's in danger Anywhere, everywhere.

It must be preserved and protected like endangered wild lives. Those who got it Without any worth Are hell bent upon Making it scarce and rare, Unleashing chaos n terror, Peace must be like oxygen

36

Which we have around But hardly we care Unless we need it to survive at all costs. Bottom line is unrest anywhere is threat to Peace and order everywhere.

Then comes good terrorism. Mind it man "Terrorism is terrorism is terrorism" Is quite relevant and pertinent quote Coined by your think tank Blackwill Terror can't be justified or legitimised In fact, terror is mindless, senseless and ruthless killing of mankind. It can't be like good or bad Taliban

Taliban has replaced Taliban Terror for terror will decimate

Humanity on this earth. This is just trailor of chaos and anarchy And rest we can see in nightmares. Ghosts of terror will haunt This whole world forever With repercussions graver.

We want Peace, we don't want war

37

No God made any religion

God made us all the sun and moon, Flora and fauna, Earth and sky, Man and woman.

God didn't create Quran or Bible, Vedas or Adi granth But we, human did.

God didn't made us Hindu, Muslims etc. either Better nor worse

Everyone equal But His best creation Mankind did. Then man made progress In science and thoughts, Work and worship, Faith and philosophy, Then we made religions Followed by division of God Mine and yours.

We want Peace, we don't want war
38

We want Peace, we don't want war

God also didn't make Jesus and Ram But we made them all God.

Then started conflict and war Religions claimed more lives Than wars Ironically, no religion nor any scripture Preaches hatred But mine and yours Have made all the chaos, And upset the cycle.

Better to be atheist than Superstitious. Let's go back to basics. Be just mankind Bereft of conflicting faiths and beliefs Religions and rituals.

Let it be straight chat Between God and His wards From now onwards.

39

Stateless Afghanistan

After return of Taliban, Afganistan is again In the state of absolute anarchy, Chaos and turmoil

As never before.

Hope of peace and order Survives no more.

Entire populace is under Intense stress running for shelter Hapless, hopeless and helpless Crowds running helter and skeltar Everyone on the soil of Afganistan Is wary of impending war, Anarchy prevails from Kabul to Kandhar.

Governance is out of gear

Everyone, be it pauper or Premier Is living in constant fear

President left the nation in lurch

Enemies of peace, out in his search State of the nation Is in utmost disorder

Stateless, nameless and voiceless Afghans are fleeing out of border.

We want Peace, we don't want war
40

We want Peace, we don't want war

Guns are driving the governance Sharia reinforced at thugs' instance

Goons and ganglords, calling the shots There is none to untangle the knots.

Womenfolk placed again under the veil

Sharia replaced rule of law, under the deal Mind it man, Bombs and bullets can't build trust

Sharia can't sort out all evils, just Guns can't cultivate hopes n grains

Tanks alone can't tackle turbulence Discontent can't be stifled n muzzled

Leaving the vast lot, perplexed n puzzled.

Stateless Afghanistan, is now a barren soil

Where state of the nation Is in absolute turmoil.

We want Peace, we don't want war
42

Peace is a light, magic, wisdom and sublimity

Everything that is not peace is suffering Sail into quiet and magical waters through love Praying and seeking more light

The world has always been misled, let it wake up Because it can never reach heavenly charisma and humanity

While there are wars, peace is an illusion

I forgive everyone, because a man is born blind

War is a terrible crime

Terrorism is an even greater crime

A country that allows terrorists to enter and live on its territory is not a state (Author's quote)

War is a crime, Terrorism without a declaration of war is an even greater crime, Those two evils except for individual murders Are the greatest evils for humanity

If in these two evils beside adults Children and babies are suffering,

We want Peace, we don't want war Peace
43

We want Peace, we don't want war

If they are organs for transfusion and transplantation, It's not evil anymore, it's a slaughterhouse, Of living human beings

Where were you citizens of this planet then? Do you know? Are you informed?

When terrorists set fire to living people They bombed sovereign states Ruined "Twins"

Those slaughterhouses had their names

Sometimes these two evils come together, In their hypocrisy, they become victims And at the same time the killers of their nation

Be free, Only by being properly informed, That way you will all be brothers and children of God, That way you will save yourself from hatred and evil That way you will keep the peace And be pure in front of God

44

Did the dead die in vain

Do you know what war is?

In the war, all feathers fell silent

All the muses disappear

All love dies

Only the soldier's feathers creaked

All happiness and hope are gone

Man's destiny is uncertain

Only cannonade cannons are heard

And great human suffering

Do you know what war is, if you don't have children in it?

These are the students embracing in front of the firing squad

Children thrown into bunkers

Mothers with bloody milk on their breasts

The sum of all the victims of firearms

Mute and silent biological and chemical battle

Everyone suffers, regardless of nation, color and status

Dreams without realization

A sample of all evils

Suicide of a civilization

There is no winner

War provoking neurosis

Free essay topic

We want Peace, we don't want war
45

We want Peace, we don't want war

Would it be better if the war did not happen

To have world without victims

It would be better

Nothing has changed during the war

The dead died in vain

A world without hunger

A world without poverty

A planet without poisoners

Can you imagine a world without hunger?

And a world without poverty?

For some, food is now just a dream

Hunger confuses thoughts and leads to irreversibility

Hunger says: Let me dream, to at least eat in my dreams

With paradise beauties on the planet

The planet says: No,you will be hungry again, they are poisoning me

Those beauties disappear, the erosion of sleep occurs

Theychange climate with poisoning

Will a grain of dream sprout?

Life is a tent that needs to be turned into a golden carpet

And we are the threads that are connected Which intertwine in the tent

We are all one ray of God's light

46

We want Peace, we don't want war

Is it all a big challenge for us?

Or it just depends on us?

Will we let life guide us?

Or will we manage life?

Do you afraid more of life than death?

There are times when you are desperate You need more courage to live

Don’t give in to character

Believe in yourself, believe in God No pit is deep enough

Not a single cave is dark enough That you can't get out of it Don’t look for salvation

You poor people that have nothing

And you rich people that have everything

Help each other as much as you can Because big disasters come from small mistakes

Children are victims of war, Children are always victims

War poisons the soul

War pervades everything, devastates and leaves ashes behind War is pointless

Death comes at any moment They kill you or you become a killer

47

We want Peace, we don't want war

In any case, children are victims of war

Whether they were sitting at home looking out the window At ruined houses

Whether they are holding a rifle somewhere in the whirlwind of war

When they lose their parents in the war

They are fighting for a bare life

Children are victims of war

When they watch horrible crimes

When they see death around them

Scattered corpses on the streets

They know it can happen to them too And it happens Mutilated by bombing

And there is a killer for them too

They take part in armed conflicts

They are being judged

They were arrested and imprisoned

In any case, children are victims

They starve in war, they starve in peace

Imprisoned and killed in bunkers

They feel abandoned and helpless

Everyone forgets about them

There is no one to protect them

No one hears them

48

We want Peace, we don't want war

During peace

They are victims of rape and murder

Kidnapping victims

Tortured by hunger

Made by work

They are persecuted by many states

Exposed to violence

Abandoned by parents

Kidnapped by parents

Placed in other families

The children are refugees

With denied rights

Deprived of childhood

Lost lives

Children just disappear

49

We want Peace, we don't want war

Stop holocaust, stand for peace

Is the Holocaust justified?

No religion is infected

With affection, love and mercy

Nature’s pure proportions

Are just that

For their stupidity

For their cowardice

And for their bullet

The innocents are becoming victim

The terror may have been A moment of triumph

But, it is neither real victory

Nor eternal

Humanity is the foundation of any religion

Religion is the source of kindness

They cannot make this world of their own

By sucking the blood of orphans

The helpless and the destitute

51

We want Peace, we don't want war

Dear folks give up your persistence And join hands for peace and

Will you be here forever?

Oh God!

Where are you?

While there is injustice in the world And the lawlessness

Despite the difference

You are here without seeing

What nation has worshiped you?

Is society changing?

Is life changing? Moving harder? Nothing Oh God!

First make him human being Tell him to learn to live

What did God give me? What else did I do?

Instead of being weary

What did I do to someone? Sit in silence

Let him consider himself

Oh God?

If a man realizes his mistakes

Then he will be saved

This society is also uplifting God, will you be here forever?

Need a serious discussion (essay)

The main reason for war and communalism is nothing but the lack of communication. It fuelling the flames of “"International Conflict*. The direct exchange of ideas between the two countries is reduced. They rely on secondclass media that transmits twisted information about each other. These second class media include not only the provocative speeches of political and religious leaders, but also the print and electronic media. Now social media has also been instrumental in spreading misconception and, rumours.

Religious class in the meantime a system of direct, broad and continuous exchange of ideas is required at all levels. This mutual exchange must take place at the highest leadership and intellectual level, and at the village level, and on the streets and at the grassroots level. There should be a permanent system of such exchange of ideas. If necessary, misunderstand each other at the right time and quickly. There is also a need to convince the neighbouring countries of the seriousness of the problem.

Many countries are involved in intense internal strife and this fire is now uncontrolled by any country. In a vast globe. The fire can be taken away by any country. This can make the dreams of the minorities as well as the dreams of majority. Therefore, no matter what the political stance of

We want Peace, we don't want war

the people, all must unite to fight against racism and communalism on the social level.

It’s necessary to convince the people of the countries that this tendency is fatal to the whole globe. The rule of law is the most important foundation of any civil society and the collective responsibility of the entire society or country is to resist the lethal tendency of law enforcement.

Influential people of all the classes must be brought forward to create communal harmony in society. Intellectuals, social and religious leaders, women, student leaders, journalists, advocates need to be activated.

There should be serious discuss in the open environment on matters of rational and religious disagreement.

Fight for peace and prosperity

Blood is blood

Whether it’s poor man Or the rich, it’s red All human being s Are bom to live But, while growing They become different Some becomes rich And some becomes poor The hierarchy begins within

54

We want Peace, we don't want war

People starts discriminate People starts hate

Why these differences among folks?

Why the war? Though he knows That it brings us mar Whether the war happens In the East or the west

Or it happens in the North or the South Wherever it happens It bring us bloodshed And destroys the peace among the folks And broken the hearts of the innocents

We are advanced in Economics We are advanced in Politics Advanced in Arms and Ammunition

What’s there in the celebration of victory? What’s the point of the defeat? Whatever the development...

But, we failed in bringing hearts closer Join hearts with join hands

Let us change our perspective And all fight for peace and prosperity.

Jashobanta Biswal

India

A real man

The real man is the one who owns the other

Only real people can know the pain of others Only real people can understand the feelings of others

It is the real man who forgets his own happiness and stands in the misery of others

It is the real person who takes the time to help others

Gold is only visible when it is recognized Unrecognized turns into brass Human beings suffer from violence

Man suffers from arrogance

The real man is to treat everyone equally

So that, service to mankind is service to God

We want Peace, we don't want war
56

what to do in this life who didn't get along with you what was love by giving true heart Eye dedication you infidel turned out to be

wanted you wholeheartedly got cheated for love gave heart and life to you how midstream on left what fault did we do that you can hurt us so much We understood the piece of heart how did you infidel you just broke that heart the heart that worshiped you Heart is not wet even if it is broken what was yours to say even if we do what to do now

It's still difficult to be alive the one who used to beat from the chest it's not ours it's yours now

We want Peace, we don't want war Infidel
57

We want Peace, we don't want war

Request...

The feast of destruction has begun

Get ahead of time careful

The psyche is spluttering

Amlajan is not available

Nature is scared, Earth is afraid of human's glory

An emerging epidemic, How many

In front of the eyes

kindred companions

Passing in such a day, Of the great holocaust

On the path of destruction

Miracle of compassion has been auspicious Falling like this all the time An epidemic is creating a catastrophe today

Dancing on dead body's edge

The picture of the season has changed here

Earth is burning in heat

cold, rain, Spring Hemant Don't see water Justify progress

The factory is growing and moving day by day

Earth is happening Desert

58

We want Peace, we don't want war

People are wandering here for water

Not able to handle Hot

Increasing air pollution

Oh my heart! Pioneer of science

How many animal bids in this living world Are ending every day

Air temperature is not handling

In the day unseen Come on you hurricane

Flooding Big flood Rain shower Divine murder of nature Noise made all around Still Humana don't worry, Doing torture, The beggar of the nomads

I know

Many people in the world find happiness

Still looking for happiness But I'm so sorry

There is no one in the world for me

Neither a happy mother nor a father

There is no money or respect

Begging is my ultimate happiness

59

We want Peace, we don't want war

Sleeping at someone's door is my ultimate happiness

It's my pleasure to be slapped by someone

It's my pleasure to be abused by anyone

Walking around is my absolute pleasure

It is my greatest pleasure to sleep in fasting

It's my pleasure to be slapped by someone

It is my pleasure to eat the food of others

I don't know if it's hot

No, it's not raining anymore

I don't know if it's winter

I don't know, Paul's in bed

Don't know where to stay

However, I remain silent Silent

I am the best man in the world

I have as much happiness

No one else

My nomadic life

The door is wide open for me

It flew from one branch to another like a bird

60

Ash heap

When I leave the world

What can I say? What can I say? But

I'll leave some ashes and some bones

But there is no such thing as noise or shouting

What is my existence? Empty ashes and bones Alas, my life, my life has not been worth it Why why?

There was no such thing as my hard work, no worries Empty noise is fun

There were no parents Worries No, the boy went to the girl! That's the way life is. Blood,Meat, Bone marrow, This body is made of skin

All that remains is ashes and ashes. All the crocodiles ate meat. The tiger preyed

Ubudubu in the gloomy darkness Cuckoo begs no one to listen to It will not be cold or hot. All the rest of the world is the rest of the world. Empty ashes and ashes.

We want Peace, we don't want war

Which reads first, the heart or the sight?

With you, life is blessed and has the fragrance of faith Crammed with confusion, bewilderment and anxiety

You are the pearl of oceans and the secret of beauty on earth

How splendid the poem becomes when your letters adorn it

When it turns into a bow that hits with the arrows of rhymes

When it becomes a bullet that goes without a deadline

When life begins with it and knows no end or limit of time

We want Peace, we don't want war
62

We want Peace, we don't want war

How powerful your pen becomes when its ink flows

Draws you magical pulses inside me

Writes you golden verses on the strings of my heart

Makes roses grow on my cheeks

Makes almonds bloom on my mouth

Makes the drip drips from between my lips

Makes questions overrun over the fringes of my eyes

Glows and spreads light of optimism in my soul

Slides a burning flame on the snow of my heart

Then excites it and sets fire inside its four rooms!!

Oh the angelic prince of my heart

Am I not the neighbourhood doe who loves you

Who searches refuge from thirst in your pastoral fields

Am I not wandering among the sides of your meadows

Looking for water, because you are the rain and the blessing

Aren’t your letters looking like diamonds in form and content

While I am monotheistic in your own world

Life is now reduced to a gesture from you

When it was not reduced before to a gesture from the moon

Not even from the deafening stone or the echo in a deep valley

O silent sea, I know that your waves indicate the start, not the end

You should know that the heart is no longer asking the eyes:

Is it ebb or tide and which reads your letters first, the heart or the sight?

63

Keep loving, smiling and helping

“Power is not in muscles, wealth or position”

In life, I meet ups and downs

I see good and bad days

I don’t get everything I want But I get what I need

I wake up with some aches and pains But I wake up

My life may not be perfect But I am blessed and happy

There are countless planets and stars in the universe

Each has its own place, importance and it is unique

Every single person has a special place and role in the world

No matter who is he, he is equally important as others

We are all “a planet or a shining star” in someone's life

Be positive and never hesitate to help those who need you So, God may bless you and make you happy

I don’t really understand how someone can tell so many lies

Without blinking, hesitating and being shameful

Or regretful and feel bad about that Power is not in muscles, wealth or position

So show your personality through giving and helping others

We want Peace, we don't want war
64

We want Peace, we don't want war

Be a handful of goodness and blessings

To relieve the burdens you carry on your shoulders and be blessed

Neither the nights nor the problems can defeat sunrise or hope

So try and never lose hope to achieve what you dream of Even if you don’t achieve it, at least you try your best

And will not regret to leave this world

Life is too short like a Sunrise to Sunset

Keep loving, Smiling, helping and stay away from negativity

May God bless you and make you happy

Have pity on my guitar

My heart drifted away

How can I forget

That night when love called me

Her shadow pierced within Tangling with my blood

Standing at her door... Come, I whispered

Her bust longing for an embrace

She threw herself swiftly, unhesitant

In the arms of her fervent lover

I scented her ecstatic wet lips

That blasted pure nectar

Feeling her concealed eagerness

I stealthily touched her breast

Whose temperament so suave, so intense

65

We want Peace, we don't want war

My lips almost touching hers

Burning an ardent flame

I gathered my strengths to hold her tight And felt her hasty bliss

Revealing her divine thick lips

Soon emerged redness on her cheeks

Reminding me of the moment

When the sun blends with the horizon

Oh virgin! In the depths of your fine ear

Live the murmurs that I solicit you to hear I beseech you to pierce my broken heart Brunette Blonde

My days with you are scarce

Hoping you fulfil your promise

Pity my guitar! Break the serment

Oh virgin

For this ardent fiery passion

Slowly! I plead

My torment, my persecutor

For my blood is effusively flowing Brunette Blonde

Be compassionate

Appease my shattered feelings

Am I not your revered sacrilege

Her promised affection lurked around me Intoxicated by her breath

66

I remove her veil to sense her Feeling her every supple curve My insatiable desire is quenched at last. I never forget that night When love called me and my heart drifted away I never forget how her shadow pierced within Tangling with my blood.

Note:

The meaning of the word "serment":

The word "serment" means "a solemn promise, usually invoking a divine witness, regarding the future acts or behaviour".

It’s a French word in origin and its translation in English: nom masculin 1 (devant une autorité) oath

déclarer sous serment to declare on (anglais britannique) ou under oath prêter serment to take the oath un serment professionnel a professional oath.

We want Peace, we don't want war 67

The friends are either blessings or curses

"Life is a circle of giving and taking!!"

Our hearts do not hurt, it is our brains which do Let us be positive and make people happy with our humanity

Let us accustom ourselves to smile and be cheerful

There is no charge for a little laugh or a simple smile

One or both can change the life of someone here or there Do your best to distance yourself from negativity

That is the only way to achieve inner peace and tranquility

The friends are either blessings or curses

Some come as heavy burdens and abuse our life

Others come as gifts and give us useful lessons

The second kind makes us aware, keeping our eyes opened

It makes us realise that people are not the same

That life is different according to times and places That there are complications in our way to achieve success

As long as we believe in God, our only saviour

We keep smiling to our successes as well as to our fails

We keep doing our best to help staying real humans

I wish I could soar as high in the sky as I possibly can

We want Peace, we don't want war
68

Where there is no harm or disturbance, with birds

Where I can touch the stars, day and night

Where I sit with angels and bring peace in every heart

As long as we believe in God, our only saviour

We need to learn to let bad things burn

We need to thank people who cause harm to us

They make us better, stronger and never trust them again We need to forgive them and let them go free, live and grow Thanks to them, because we owe them that we get better

It should be so, because life is a circle of giving and taking!!

Never be negative

As love is not just how to find the right person But how to create a right relationship

It’s not how much love you have at the beginning But how will the end of this love be Marriage is so too!!

As wisdom is sometimes taken from the mouth of the insane

Too many lessons are best learned through pain and suffering

Sometimes, our visions clear only after our eyes are washed with tears

Sometimes, we have to be broken, so we can be whole again!!

Let the matter be understandable and clear to you:

If Allah, the Almighty made the day to be completely perfect,

We want Peace, we don't want war 69

We want Peace, we don't want war

He wouldn’t let you dream of tomorrow and after tomorrow, He wouldn’t make them full of pleasant and sad surprises, He wouldn’t give us the ability to forget and overcome pain!!

Keep Positive, hopeful and optimist

Make people happy with your welcome smile

No charge for it, but it can change someone’s life

Don't ever start your day with broken pieces of yesterday

Every morning we wake up is the first day of the rest of life

It is right that we can not help everyone, But it is right too that everyone can help someone Start your day with blessing someone Never be negative, hopeless and pessimist

Allah, the Almighty, is the greatest Whenever you feel like giving up,

Thinking of all the people would love to see you fail, Never give up even till your last breath!!

If you want to be extremely happy in life find someone who'll never get tired of kissing you who'll hug you when you become jealous who'll understandingly keep silent when you get mad who'll squeeze your hand when you're not in the mood who'll plan and imagine your future with you This is how you stay positive and never be negative!!

Flag For Entity

Let my body buried in the soil of country, Let my flesh and bones fillup the depth of soil, Let the country people walk on my chest, Let me feel myself proud the ashes in the soil, Let the people fight for the sovereignty!

The power of love

A force from above Cleaning my soul,

We want Peace, we don't want war
78

Flame on burn desire

Love with tongues of fire, Love is such a powerful emotion. It can wash the dust from us. In troubled times we need it more than ever. My country is called a secular state because there is no discrimination of religions by the government or the Constitution,

Remember those we loved, Who fought for us, and died; And those we never knew For whom others mourned and cried, Let's honor our military, The men and women who serve, Whose dedication to our country, Does not falter, halt or swerve, Let's respect them for their courage; They're ready to do what's right To keep our country safe, So we can sleep better at night. We fight all forms of oppression, Helping victims far and near, To keep the world from chaos, To protect what we hold dear, Our golden land of liberty; Flag of stars and stripes inspires us, To remember we are free, When we sing our national Anthem, Unity reins, and we are One!!!

We want Peace, we don't want war 79

We want Peace, we don't want war

The national flag is a sign of pride and patriotism, The flag not just represents the freedom we enjoy but also the effort of our great leaders who struggled to achieve thisfreedom, The national flag represents the nation as an Entity.

The Success Path

A path is a ray of light to follow to achieve a specified goal or result.

The core of joy and happiness in life is all about living our life with a purpose.

To live our lives with meaning, we must follow the path that is right for us.

To live our life’s purpose, discover and leverage our gifts, skills, and abilities and select a path.

Where we have the liberty to use this gift of creatively as possible to have a positive impact in the world.

Water is the most perfect traveler because when it travels it becomes the path itself.

But remember, nothing comes without a price. Our paths are not made as per our purpose.

Don’t compare our path with anybody else’s. Our path is unique to us.

All paths are the same, oposite in directions. Therefore, choose a path with our conscious mind.

Life is a journey of adventure and no matter how bad the roads and destination point.

80

If you can dream it, you can do it. Follow our path, and let the people talk.

All we need in this life is an unawareness and self confident, and then success is in our foot.

Remember that wherever our heart is, there we will find our hidden treasure.

Drop by drop rain water makes the river, Likewise, the wise man, gathering it little by little, fills in their heart for the good purpose.

So Success of the path is awaiting ahead, go in a good vision.

Was a Day for me

I was loving a beautiful girl

Her name was "Time", forgetting day and night.

"An Ounce of Love"

I was filled with gratitude, looking forward, I was filled with vision looking within, I discovered peace in her heart.

That time my life was a mirror to all, those were in my life were true reflexes of mine and they gave me the opportunity to grow and change.

Her secret desire was on me ravished, She was extraordinary nearly lovey with something of both satin and velvet in her.

Her eyes were blue and moist, her mouth glowed, her skin reflected the light, and saw my ingnited hot lips on her skin.

We want Peace, we don't want war 81

We want Peace, we don't want war

And when I kissed I felt the energies of a thousand lives on our lips, like our souls had known of us all along. Oh! What happened in our love, it's a Question for me! Actually I wanted the binary love of a*b=we, where our two souls would be met and loved like a ocean of love.

May be it was not happed in our life for an Ounce of Love, because for the age factor and I couldn't measure the depth of her love and I spent every ounce of energy trying to hide.

Hey! Time, still then I love you very much, it wasn't a promising start to a working relationship but I will continue to carry the " Miracle Ounce"not only because It can keep my heart beating through a cold neight!

My Question to all my beloved Poets and Poetess of around the world, can we the old couple love eachother and enjoy as like you all!!!

Yes! Our life will go oneday but our Goodwill soul will remain in everyone's heart. Om! Om!

"For the sake of vermillion"

I love you, you may ingore or may not ingore, I'm your nature, you take care your health, I'm your lamp, you see the right path, I'm the fire you feel the warmth of your body, You gesture you love me, I'm a writer you are the pages of my love, I'm your dream you are my Angel,

82

I'm your wind you are my destiny, I'm your cloud you are the rain, I'm your hungry you are my thirsty, I'm your Rhyme you are my Peacock, I'm venom you are my antidote, I'm tears you are my laughing love, I'm a flower you are the smeller, I'm a singer you are my musical notes, I'm a Bee you are my honey, I'm memory you are my dream, I'm spring you are my happiness, I wish you luck, my luck in your hands, I'm your beautiful husband you are my beautiful wife, I'm seeing vermillion hides from your hairs on head, It means I can't die in prematurely, We keep faith in Hindu religion....

" If a woman is filled with vermillion in her demand, her husband's life is longer".

Oh! I'm very much happy on you because..... In a faith you fill vermilion on your head in my name, in demand for life and good health of me forever.

Oh! My sweet darling tell me... should I praise or should I remain Silent!!!

(Note: The Vermilion is the Symbol of matrimony in Indian household and an essential part of woman's marriage).

We want Peace, we don't want war 83

Human Nature

Sometimes...

If once the promise is deceived, and if your faith on suspectness arise then there is a loop holes in your faith and you can't keep faith on anyone's.

Sometimes...

Human life is full of promises, sometimes it shines like a sun, sometimes it is like a shadow of mind with an aspirational desire.

Sometimes...

Growing up like a full moon, and fades away when new moon comes. Sometimes he stumbles and sometimes he falls at every moment of his life's journey.

Sometimes...

In every steps he kills humanity and ditaches the love of affection "the bond" of belongingness and also trying to change the path of nature.

Sometimes...

Though he knows one day he will die but doing the bad things instead of doing noble things.

We want Peace, we don't want war
84

We want Peace, we don't want war

Sometimes...

When his memories losses, You think that his game of life is over, means he kills his span of life.

Sometimes...

Always trying to win the race by leg pulling others but failed to achieve the goal, like which well is digging for his use he fall into that well.

Someday...

He doesn't know oneday his ashes of the cemetery will flow into the river of water.

We want Peace, we don't want war

We want peace in the world

I have the wing of thought stuck in dreams My pain goes to the heavens on writing, My eyes are watery and red with tears. From the bloody war, the blood is still flowing!

I think of corpses lying in pits, For babies who no longer have mothers and fathers, War has robbed them of their happiness, they are in tears, They will be childless, horrified and troubled!

I think it's time to tell the world,

Definitely: We don't want war anymore! No famine, no poverty so unjustly, Beaten, raped, unworthy women!

Let us carry the buds of the love of Peace into the world, With lights of warm, pure and pure souls Let them arise in their hearts every morning, May we have joy in souls with a zest for life!

Let holy fountains of waters and love spring forth, No cruel differences between people and cultures Time is so short and he dies too fast, We are not Aladdin, a magician or a king in a city!

We want Peace, we don't want war
87

Let us love, let us defeat bridges of opposition, The corolla of forgetfulness is shrouded in waste and longing Bleeding clothes are embroidered in uneasiness Empires of pride, good man, you can unlock them!

Humanity

It is played through human faces, the rays of the sun

Through the silent weeping of winter in the lap of the weather, Sadness flows in streams of tears

Too many illusions have crept into your pockets!

How many enslaved dreams did you untie with tears

And how many fear fighting battles killed you? That you have rowed through the seas with overwhelmed passions,

But you hid them in you like an outlaw fugitive.

Humanity is the tab of humanity in people What heaven has in souls of care and devotion, Which sows love, respect and appreciation all around And through the dry stubble fields and dry valleys!

I passed the mountains of worry without a murmur, When for a moment it seemed that life had defeated us, You saved the butterfly of love from the clutches of deception, And in darkness you have kindled many hearts in love!

We want Peace, we don't want war
88

Over the floating rivers you embraced white water lilies, To the poor and only of what you had, you gave to him, That this means complete happiness for you, Only by loving and giving did you become so rich!

We look in silence at the answer of humanity is known, The story of life is not about what you were and are, Love, defeat your self, be full of high humanity, With celestial myrrh you touch those struck to meet them!

It's just sadness around and colds without words I see you in the fog and on willow frosty evenings, I don't remember any dreams written in jewels, I say a prayer again which I think is not too late!

In absurd pressures the hours pass through the terrible frost, The white lace flowers are finely engraved with snow But I freeze silently on the cold and fleeting thoughts, Winter is like a life that has cold temples to live in!

We want Peace, we don't want war 89

The pain is written in the sky and on hard working bodies, Cold, famine and helplessness burn the earth day and night, Burning houses, innocent victims on deserted streets, The bells are ringing, bitter tears are flowing for all hell.

We are at war but we want peace!

Under the command of Putin, who has no empathy, This wonderful and adored glie is believed to be sovereign, He doesn't care about the suffering and pain of the world, It's unscrupulous. His cruelty and indifference know no bounds.

Solidarity

When no one seems to hear or see them, But I see solidarity with the poor Their soul is good and gives them little hospitality Humanity is the heavenly hand in the world of quality!

The children are sad, weeping bitterly at the windows; That from above the birds sprinkle lead and metals, It's snowing but the snow from the bombs is black gray, The earth is flooded with tears.

With a commotion in their hearts, the children cry out that they want freedom, Their desires are carved with bullets and handcuffs, There are thousands of prayers with lights in houses and altars, That they are called the Angels of the light of the setting stars.

The field is charred in purple black by so much fire, The dead bodies are put together in plastic, Throw yourself into the pit without a shred of pity and light, I mourn them, but their souls sigh for so much torment.

We want Peace, we don't want war
90

Over the shoulders of the gentle sky, solidarity does not die, Hope is desperate for neighbors abroad, The prayers turned with a humble face to the west, A helping hand and my people have gladly given them, We all want to hear that the Ukrainian war is over!

Essay

Today life struggles between peace with divine light and the cruel and unjust war full of darkness that I never thought we'd see him so close to us. There is so much suffering around me that I can't find the right words to describe this condition. Cold bullets, tanks and gloomy bombs have darkened our days since the war began and have spread pain through their pipes around the world. The feelings of pain, bitterness and fear for the lives of Ukrainians have marked all the people of the earth, but the feelings of the people are of an unimaginable cruelty in the century in which we live. I understand that for the Russian people and their leader, Putin has no compassion and empathy other than money and the power to occupy other unscrupulous peoples. History is written in innocent blood that has taken away all their value and humanity. It is hard to describe the feelings that are sifting around the world, of total disapproval for this cruel and disgusting war. The beating of Russian hearts is dead, that's why they pass over

We want Peace, we don't want war
91

We want Peace, we don't want war

corpses, they destroy everything in their path for some whims when human life is very important and it is so short... Let's think that; no one takes anything with him when he goes into the world of the righteous, but his sins are repaid! God has given us life and only He can take it from us. Consciousness is the voice of God in us! The earth weeps over so much fire and mourning...

These atrocities are a mirror of the Russian people who will be darkened forever and will never be able to wash or light up again! Maybe someone will see this in time and reflect with their heart. Let this stupid war stop because it worries us all and affects our souls. Here are mountains of corpses that are not buried but lie on the streets or under the ruins mercilessly bombarded by Dombas, Harakov, Mariopol, Lviv... etc... These areas are completely destroyed and inside they feel cries of pain and helplessness... Mothers look at their helpless children... that besides the hell they live in, they can't give their children any piece of bread, water and warmth that they had but now they have been stolen by the war that continues and does not stop at all. These things dry their souls in pain but they continue to fight with courage and courage for their piece of land in which they were born, defending it and the children with free arms and hopes in heaven. I am rebuked by a pain that overwhelms me that these victims are like birds without a nest and those with the power in their hands who can change something do not. The hourglass of life bleeds gathering days and nights sick of the alienation of the world

92

We want Peace, we don't want war

that we forgot to taste the liqueur of love and faith, limiting ourselves to look at the silvery smoke of the east through the echo of war where raw green no longer exists and the mists kiss the gray dust.

The infinite nightmare of the universe is felt and a voice blurs the falling rays through the clouds. It is sad that time does not stop when the heart cries and is suffocated.

But the time worn shadows open the Pandora's Box and we stare at her helplessly. Peace is a dream tattooed on every human being on the crystal path of life but it is like a fragile reed on the altar of the dream. I would like to see peace pigeons flying happily and unhindered all over the world and children playing with their parents and having other opportunities to enjoy life! Peace is the ultimate dream of every human being on earth!

We want peace in the world, we don't want war!

BIOGRAPHY

I Author, Poet, Ambassador Folajimi Notch Shoaga, discipline in mass communication and I’m so keen about human literature since my early age, this gives me strength to engage in literary researches earlier in life, so, I made a choice of rejuvenating and making people and humanity at large to live healthy and peacefully among one another irrespective of culture, background, norms and value through my literary genre. The healing of natures through true literature in peace and love is a sense of discipline to me in this universe that heterogeneous human being are in existence.

We Want Peace, We Don’t War (1)

What is the beginning of this catastrophe?

A calamity that had erupts an unending cost for life, Moreover, you have your own children, That are part and in path of human of being, Living in different nations having peace of mind, As other in line of life journey as kind.

Destruction of this lives brings harmony to pieces, And not a literature piece of piece.

We want Peace, we don't want war
94

We Want Peace, We Don’t War (2)

Where are the dream souls? It is a responsibility of your accountability, A required service to humanity.

What happen to the vacuum in view? This place is meant for children, As it is being taken care of by parenthood and brethren.

There is a sound of destruction in your capacity, And it is uncalled for neither on anyone nor humanity.

An atrocity against humanity out of orchestrated war, These are precious human being that needs peace and not war.

We Want Peace, We Don’t War (3)

This must stop without any constrain attached, It is human that are dying and great minds ached, The harmony of nations is justified, And not by personal vendetta been staged, The life of living cannot be steered by destructive mind. Great lives are created, established and even intermarried, In this life everyone requires peace, An everlasting love and peace,

We want Peace, we don't want war
95

We want Peace, we don't want war

In various abode of whatsoever anyone finds themselves. It is a pity you cannot create a single soul, Even life of your own children and yourself.

We Want Peace, We Don’t War (4)

Peaceful nations stands against this destructions, Exterminating lives as if they are animals in action, Living lives are destroyed and such is visible,

As you can see it in the mirror as an able. From this moment aggravation of war must stop, And the love and peace of a sane nation must be restore, Children and parent are like you perpetrators, Married in true love, having peace and not conspiracy of war.

The lives are not yours to be destroy, It is to salvage them to a peaceful abode, A place where there is no such destruction physically or spiritually.

We Want Peace, We Don’t War (5)

In the mirror as you see new dawn, It must have been a message of peace in reign, And not of war that had taken the children off this world.

And empty nation been formally occupied by peace and joy, It is a sound of turning towards and let peace be adore,

96

Instead of thinking of time that has no turning back.

You are a human being like any other children in this abode, The vendetta is not love and peace even to your own home, Harmony is very imperative among this nation.

It must not be deterred by sense of war anymore, In whatever actions taken in what may be seen as misunderstanding, Ceased every acts of war absolutely, For love and peace of human lives of this nation.

We want Peace, we don't want war 97

Peace through Love

Peace isn't as cushy as any soul reckons, Neither could the wealth bribe, as weapons. It is, but a phenomenon away from hatred, Every single heart possesses it to be catered.

Aimlessly withering around isn't exactly enough, Like an unwise man's words that seem sough. It is, but a product of deep love and kindness, Of the humanity towards those in wryness.

Peace isn't a puppet, easily that can be hosted, Something to be held in self then love to be boosted. It is, but a respect derived from self to build unity, For one to promote it, on this mighty world with Honesty.

The love, simple it sounds, but difficult to count, To love humans isn't easy when oneself can't account. It is, but a congruent relationship that takes humility, For peace to override in love among humanity.

The patients of love, without which the world turns sketchy, For the death mind can't unite souls, but remains touchy. It is, but a love that combines variety souls, For peace to spring upwards and for common goals.

We want Peace, we don't want war 99

The Peace, as their Religion

Let the peace fly over the calm sky like the dove, The way, so tranquil, no one to irritate anyone, With tunes of angels and feelings of serenity, Nothing to stress over, nothing to fear about. The vivacity, so smoothly fortified, so calmly, Every day to sing new tunes of adoration and care, With their sorts without any limits of obstructions.

No hues to see, but equally in love to count, Along a similar ground for merriment to encourage. The peace, as their religion and their substance, No pointing of faults, but simply rectification, No disputes and jealousy in them dwell, Just the adoration in collaboration for rapture, And their ages to memorize from, what they suffice. No hatred to get wind in their wings when it folds And the tone so soft when their melody streams out And their homes lit up like the sun in affection.

The Peace, out from my Love

Until crepuscle, to an affluent city I jaunted, A voyage over the sea and the highest slopes, To abut with humans loaded up with riches,

We want Peace, we don't want war
100

For serenity, that dwells inside their four dividers. I went instead clashing with their dateless prides, What's more, the docket, so stiff even in their leisure.

The next, to the ghetto over the level aside, In the promise, for peace away from wealth. An easy path, I got to march with those in poverty, For serenity, that resides in their local region. My heart went wild clashing with their hope of enduring, And their rigidness to battle over friends for holding out.

At that point, over to the highest mountain I ascended, Battling the rough current of air and the calorific sun, Nigh to the Heaven for a conversation, with God. Just, I discover no God to manage, just the flimsy air. I went unsated clashing with my own denied mind And the narrow mindedness that is within me.

Back to my abbot, about life, I realized vividly, Stuck in the niche to meditate and to search for, Of peace that are conceived inside self that multiplies. And, so I raised the flag of love out of my own self, Thereof, the peace in me revived out from my love That welcomed some more, with me to sing and move.

We want Peace, we don't want war 101

O Peace! For your Realm to Sparkle

O, peace! Where have you gone to? Steadfast to prevail and conquer, The ever virulent corona that exist. All lambs are bleating high, Some are already gone apart.

We are holding up in trust For you to show up and guard. Tears are moving like the Nile, Maybe 'cause we lacked in dignity Or our disparity in actual live action, That ever made you to leave.

No more peace to see anymore, It appears to be bleak all over, In your absence all got fagged.

Come in fairness to embrace all, We implore you in veraciousness, Our spells are echt from the heart. Come to conquer the mortal corona And restore the peace that we had Of euphoria and gaiety always close by.

Our promise of regard to cultivate forever,

We want Peace, we don't want war
102

We want Peace, we don't want war

To each other in quality and equality, In your realm to sparkle in haziness, Like the moon, so unadulterated and superb.

To Paint the Peace

Smile on the face is something that mends, Divine in itself, not all can possess in prime. A chiliad horses in the combat can't equate, The deep pleasure during the victory gained, Higher in essence, the glee isn't measurable When a grin casts away the clever black bile And the rainbow that surrounds the heart For eternal bliss beyond human vision.

The cost, no penny can liken its echt values, Higher than god's mercy, it takes hold of it For the mind that yell only can weigh its depth When restored like chants in heaven's gate Like the sun that shower warmth in coldness And be the Godly human in favor of glum one To paint the peace and the stage to glow deep And smiling attenders to cherish and flourish.

The hope

Jeane Tertuliano

The essential is invisible to the eyes

When the morning finally blossoms, hope will be renewed and a new path will be trodden in new expectations. Poetry makes us believe in the possibility of success, because it welcomes us when humanity becomes silent. So, we write in blood; the tears soak the paper. The essential is invisible to the eyes I read it in a book when I was a child, and I believed it.

We want Peace, we don't want war
108

Perseverance

If only we would educate our children with the same determination with which we sow prejudices, surely the world would be a less conflictual place. There is no way to peace. We have long heard that peace itself is the way, so if we haven't learned to distinguish such a thing by now, then we need to revise our concepts of what it is to perpetuate harmony. Just like a house that needs to be built from the ground up, we must put on the agenda the changes that must be made from our childhood. Only then will we see evolution blossom in us. In this way, we will know that there is still hope and, for that, perseverance is essential.

Have you loved today?

They say love is abstract because they cannot see it. In my view, this justification is too flawed. When we are accepted the way we really are, we can clearly see love being evident in our present. So the problem that strikes us is that most individuals are unable to truly love if there are no selfish interests or spotlights under their heads.

It is painful to imagine that we are great in our littleness. However, the less we know how to love, the more we need to be loved. Perhaps, and only perhaps, it is

We want Peace, we don't want war 109

We want Peace, we don't want war

possible for us to learn to love, if we so choose, of course. The process can be difficult, it will depend on the commitment of each one. The adversities encountered in the course of our experiences can and will harden many hearts. Being human is not giving up on yourself and, consequently, on the other. Our actions say everything about us.

That way, rowing against the tide will never be an easy task and it's not meant to be. Calm sea does not make good sailors. It is in turmoil that we understand the real meaning of existence. When you understand that life is made up of phases and that love is vital for us to evolve at each step, everything else seems to take on new colors. Living without loving is just existing.

Synonymous with resistance

I write like someone who loves: diving body and soul into the bowels of poetry. Love says a lot about the craft of a poet, as it is not for money that I produce my art, but for what I feel when I speak with my heart. On the verge of my fourth book, I write harder. Life seems to have meaning at last, and that means everything to me. Being a woman is an act of courage. Being a woman who produces literature in the face of an imminent dictatorship is a feat that in itself makes the hideous structure of male, coup and tyrant society implode. I know I digress too much, but being a poet

110

is just that: it's translating everything that hurts my soul all the time. I don't know how to live if the pre established meaning is to be happy in a pattern contained by the gaps that echo in the homes of the endless world. Women are not silent when they are right and dreams. Oppressors may even lash out, but if science itself points out that we are the majority, there is no sense in denying the sovereignty of our existence. Writing is synonymous with resistance!

Humanity and Modernity

Modernity brought technological innovations, however, it hooked the beauty of simplicity. No one else bends to watch the dawn break. The beings stripped themselves day after day of humanity, thus suffering with the morbid nostalgia of tomorrow that has already passed through the inert gazes of individuals, overflowing with a disastrous predictability. We are no longer thinkers like our ancestors, as we spend a lot of time on social media while poor intellect and lack of affection are seen as normal. So it goes on, day after day, as the supposedly insane suffocate in the lucidity of the ignoble lethargy intricately tangled up in routine. The absurd is to question the inexact logic of someone who is not used to explaining anything. Bottled truths won't shut me up!

GRATEFULLY

With respect and thanks to all, To those who gave help to Ukraine. May God give you Tranquility, Peace and Health, GRATEFULLY thank you for your solidarity.

I worship the Earth to all common brothers, God taught us to be better today. I don't have enough words to thank you, For this beautiful human gesture!

So many sad smiles, So many lives are torn apart. So many tears shed, So many bodies buried...

War is to blame

Don't lose faith

With fear I bud the innocent trees, And the flowers would like to bloom on the hill. Every day the fog gathers in us,

We want Peace, we don't want war 113

We want Peace, we don't want war

For so many days, blood has been spilled and war has been going on in the country.

I cried so much my eyes dried up, So many lives have been torn apart. And spring seemed to frown, Even birds stop singing long ago.

Even the grass doesn't seem to be turning green anymore, Time stands still as if smoldering. So much suffering fear and terror, Even the sun's rays don't penetrate anymore.

You good people believe in God, Don't stop praying to Him. With his mercy again Peace will be, And spring in our life will come!

Let the world be peace!

Let there be peace in the world, peace on earth, On the sun and the moon, In the heart and in the mind!

Let there be peace in the world, And in the four visions, On the table, a corner of Bread And smiles in colors!

114

We want peace!

We don't want strife or war, We want quiet peace-between us. We want the sun to shine in Peace, Children in peace to play!

We want the flowers to bloom in the grains, And mother in peace to bake us Bread, We want pigeons and peregrines We want Peace Tranquility between peoples!

We want forever peace!

Dear spring, what have you brought?

Birds are not heard singing at sunset. Murmur springs in my mind, Cruel peoples boast on their left arm.

The tear slowly slips down the eyelid, The furrow of the earth with blood is watered. Prayers are raised in holy monasteries, For the perpetuation of Eternal love.

My native country with my heart in my chest, Life is slowly resting on your right arm.

We want Peace, we don't want war 115

We want Peace, we don't want war

Smokes cease to burn in the hearth, The children can't be heard and the dogs don't bark anymore...

Dark clouds fill the skies, The fields are full of weapons and soldiers. We are all afraid we don't want war to be We want Tranquility and Peace, we believe in humanity!

Let us not fight with arms only with faith alone, The holy liturgy brings victory, We don't want innocent children to shed blood, We don't want brothers fighting each other.

We all worship the Heavenly Father, Peace is brought to the world, to the human race.

We want peace in the country, a most sacred thing, We want it to be eternal, Peace on Earth!

Inter-medical shadows of humanity

Every time I see the world around me

I remember; to be there

I love the wild and don’t consider myself a freak

I just like to dream about dreams

Because the galaxy for me was nebula alone

And a fictitious phenomenon every day

When I look high, up into the sky

We want
we don't want war 117

We want Peace, we don't want war

I see all the anomalies and small secrets

Although I'm not aware of that yet That the time for me is yet to come And that I am a very young man I'm just afraid of one for now Yes, my destiny is still present There, in the bosom of my soul

The intermolecularity in my heart drives me to move forward

I still find myself very special Just because I think about my universe Which is made of nuts and beauty Which no one can approach yet And even less no one to taste them

My meaning and reason for existence

Imagination can always do anything And the reason for my laughter is the nebula

Molecular space since I live My eternity, from my dear little one I don't want to be left alone When the others leave me

Because what is life if I don't dream dreams And to catch the nebula at least once more Bare hands; the space of my universe

The heart is full of love and emotions Intertwined with the most beautiful space of feeling Which still knocks forever in me

118

I am ready to give nebulae to someone But this time if it happens At least I give myself some hope That it's not all so easy As I think; the nebula is my view Galaxies from which I always feed Because stars and astrology give strength

To believe when it's hard for me In the impossibility of one's identity

And the nebula, the nebula is still beautiful What a great avant garde emotion When I survive I can still have realities

Which give me the energy to believe More than ever in energy The stellar paths of humanity!

Peace rules in the world

Peace for all people I just want always because I think it's the guardian of my happiness I don't need to develop with people for unrest creates in my heart dangerous

I only know how to follow them and I must never be sad just because people make fools of me and I think life is beautiful

We want Peace, we don't want war 119

We want Peace, we don't want war

I believe that my hope lies somewhere far away where no one knows how mie affects moke behavior and I believe that the existence of my soul it hides in a grain of little truth

and I know that my peace is better than anything because faith and hope give me love to the world to solve all my problems in peace and that I must not be what I am not, angry because peace is worth preserving in the world!

No more words about the war

He didn't need to say anything more about the war. Because every speech about the war It creates a deep melancholy in me

Why does this war still have to last? If peace among all of us still prevails?

The reason for all this is human negligence. Because wars achieve deep unrest I don’t want my uneasiness offered nested For people who want war to be created My meaning of love is to spread peace.

120

We want Peace, we don't want war

Not a word needs to be said about the war. Because every speech creates an object of sadness It hurts when the family is torn from everything. And people still don't realize that in me. It bites that equal of silence and the dimensions of darkness

I just want peace, not a new war.

Because we only achieve the spread of war We must prevent war from happening again. Because of no one's lands, the bloodthirsty people There is even greater unrest in us.

I'm just looking for a veil of purity under peace. Because war is everything that shouldn't be Darkness and hell, blood on all sides Instead of violets, we need to share It's cut around the world and happiness

And I know that I want to share peace forever. Because my love will continue to live

The name is written deep in my heart Because I seek peace and respect for all Good people who think like me, with sincerity of heart!

121

Still humanity can wins wars

One thing is not clear to me

Why still has to fight And there is no peace in the living world Because justice is obviously in the roars of other people And it irritates me that the war is lasting

I just want peace in Ukraine

Because we are not waging wars anywhere And such things must be pointed out My heart aches when I see innocent people How they flee from their simplicity

From the state, so young people are at war

I am afraid that unrest will come to my country as well Although we are not connected with them That despair gives me some discomfort

Accordingly, I have always been for peace

And I have no doubt that this is the beginning of something new I'm just asking everyone to have the same plow May peace be eternal in all of us

And I will try to impress everyone in Ukraine

Because we have to put an end to wars at last

We want Peace, we don't want war
122

We want Peace, we don't want war

Time does not know for my young years

Sometimes they often say to be a humanitarian It just means to say the word without cover But it is similar that I am a volunteer of the Red Cross I am aware of how much influence I have on the world

I'm going there soon, and I'm getting paid Just so I don't have to be like others Because peace needs to be finally stretched I watch people being wounded and cry

I cry like never before in my life

Because they are suffocated by the life of human beings

The light, however, lurks at the end of the tunnel Because there are still people like me

Who want to treat others without monetary compensation And it gives me hope that all of us are humanitarians We share some stories that are important to all people

And I will continue to do what I know best

Help everyone, because that is the charm of truth I love when one day people will find me Greet the streets and alleys of various And I am honoured to serve the justice of the truth And evil should be eternally criticized and escaped!

123

In the sea of peace, love collected survives

A sea of miles, a river of silence cries out for peace Love is given to good people. Ready to continue to support every step of the way Only the happiness that surrounds them The meaning of everything is victory and battle.

That love lies, everyone in this world knows. Without it, the world would be ruined. Which is still a glimmer of hope for us humans. Who believes that war makes no sense?

And that fighting for no one's country is absurd?

We can say that peace is justified today all day. And I look for a spark of hope in everything. That the world will understand goodness And that we will divide happiness into equal parts Love unites and gives everything to people. Who create peace as they know best, by deeds

It is a deed when we pat others on the shoulder. Love lies directed towards goodness Happiness is great if we give knowledge The power of ordinary people always has, just know I need to use the moment of my life

We want Peace, we don't want war
124

We want Peace, we don't want war

I believe that love is the meaning of life. Yes, the reason for everything is hope. Yes, continue to promote world peace. We give importance to people who are afraid. To express everything they want and feel

And I think that peace is justifiably lasting. The ball of happiness is shrouded in truth. Traces in the snow and in the mud, peace lives

Name and predicate "growth" The perpetuation of life is an embrace for me of love and attention inexhaustible!

Waiting for Peace!

A few damn groans, few letters from the beauties

Ashes of burning images, few bodies were unconscious

Unbalmed, not mummified. Broken memories crying Scenic views polluted. Noisy madness. All not good!

Peace let sliver rivers flow through emerald valleys

Look at the leaves, their sweet melodies

We want Peace, we don't want war 127

We want Peace, we don't want war

A cool cold air trick. You don’t understand So you didn’t approach to smooth the wrinkles

Of times gone by, crawling through the mind! With love thorns in the path become roses

Canals leading waters to fields of golden wheat Roots gets showered become floral beds

Maze of trails going upwards, running downhill Fine grooves in secret tunnels, to core of fairies

Leaves brushing flowers, refreshing the air Tendencies given up in time, waiting for peace!

Trade Of Testimony

What the hell am I doing, for whom writing?

Why am I crying, laughing, scaring myself?

Neither am I familiar with him nor he is with me

Why this anonymous letter am I still reading ?

Climbing the mountains had always been my hobby In the battlefield of love, Why am I descending

128

Why is the reach of these enemies so far?

With whom my heart I am entrusting !

He is alive in my heart even when he died And now at his memorial I’m dying

Thanklessness is the habit of the nation

For whom day and night I am working

Here is a price fixed to open the lips To speak the truth. For the testimony, where I'm fighting !

Attraction!

How much more I suffer! How much more I tell you Your memory is my only treasure, o my life I miss you

My heart beats are spellbound by your beauty O spirit of beauty beyond conception, I always remember you!

Your thoughts brighten my dark painful nights Like moonlight spreading smell of Jasmine

The royal kingdom of Kaikaaoos depends upon Rustum If the two didn't fight Tehmina would have survived!

We want Peace, we don't want war 129

We want Peace, we don't want war

When were you not remembered, in freedomor in Confinement May you lose the keys says my detention today!

Some bells on the temples, some crosses on the church

I search for your sake where your image may be found!

Every evening is a nightmare, There's the sun setting, here I am! The heart sinks first because of you, oTyrant!

I followed you miserably and your path blindly Thus you pushed me into the fire, same was I hoping!

Oh how much is the pain, it has no effect on you! You're enjoying to the fullest, and my life is Incomplete!

(Kashish. Included in Bahisht E Char Saat!)

Reality!

Carlyle said long ago: "Man is a tool using animal."

In the mechanics of the universe We are all tools, man or animal.

We are all but mere cogs In the grand machine of the Creator.

130

Some slipped discs and cracked pots Don't know it for they feel useless!

The water dancer on the starless sea Just tricks of mirrors crushed in thee

They are things that left after the fire Rest are fragrant like sweet November!

Your voice is warm as a Pashmeena shawl And sweeter than the saffron tea

Your beauty is a reminder of Kashmir Envelope me in cold winter morning

While I walk in my lovely garden Grass wet with pearly dew caresses

My toes and flowers compete with Each other to be picked and plucked

They sense your love inside me And know their true purpose is To spread fragrance and colors In a heart filled with love!

We want Peace, we don't want war 131

When I touch the water It reaches out to the shore To kiss the sole of my feet And reminds me of your lips And tongue running wildly The genuine feeling of love

As free as a bird.

We are here Where are you going You are here And I am here And here and here I’m upon you and inside you

There’s nowhere to run And it’s neverwhere

I have always been A runaway bride It’s me who always slip away And you can not catch!

You are hundred percent free As free as a bird

What makes you come around

We want Peace, we don't want war
132

We are here in freedom

Flying like birds

On our dream skies

Fallen angels from heaven

United by love and destiny!

The beads of translucent tears

In her long eyelashes, she wears

Sometimes when she looks up Her brown eyes shine like suns

Some drops flow down her Glowing cheeks turning in red

Crimson lips wet with pearls

Awake desire to take her to bed

He wears white, his sheets bright, Tallest, strongest and fullbright

Puts his lips upon her tears

Eyes, cheeks, what she unwears

We want Peace, we don't want war

Transformer

Why you still follow me Everywhere I am found
133

We want Peace, we don't want war

Slightly down touches her neck Drinks the nectar, like necklace

Golden wine tasting her skin She moans in pleasure on his touch

Tears of sorrow, with magical love Slowly turns in tears of pleasure

Hiding head in his wide shoulder She hugs him tight in soft arms

Crying in love while kissing him Wild with passion flying in heaven.

August pain

I cannot wait for a star that chooses to fall for me, to plunge into my gravity and to appear like an angel, to talk to me, to avoid together fear, the arcane game of life, that pain that makes the universe a grief, far away from the summer.

With my nose upward, I imagine encounters and wounds, trajectories that knot themselves like snakes, correspondences and delays, absences we devote ourselves to, in order to name them, imitations and silences, hopes where we search for each other.

There’s not a truth in the celestial hand.

The day burns like the repetition of a wait on the parvis that is quiet, the night cools down the constellations of the world on the cross of the sea.

142

We want Peace, we don't want war

There are stories hosed down by love.

The shadow of my chair tights the crying, the heart axis in half.

The fleshy revolutions of eternity are dreams, metamorphosis of borders and abandonment, time that curses.

I cannot wait for someone who will save me.

Christ with violin dedicated to Baris Yazgi

[I am] the first day of school of a little man who is ashamed to speak Fabrizio Moro

I feel the wave watching over the meeting of my last heartbeats with its blue variations where there is no return, my name that stretches out in pentagram for those creatures that await the sky, the horizon that borders on the void before being nostalgia, I feel the day that hasn’t broken and in which, suspended like a drop, I let myself be a dream.

143

We want Peace, we don't want war

I am a Christ who has a violin for his cross, his strings my daily bread, his voice my forgiveness, light as shell pollen

I let myself be carried away where the starfish are flowers that sing of love and the world is a sketch that has stopped burning, upside down in the shadowy canvas that sparkle and muffled like the desire for a caress that desire remains.

I feel my body liquid, without rigging, and absolute, almost a tear that slips on the fingerprints of the sea while the sun paints its ray with which he stabs me andIfindmyselfasagroomwithout apromiseandwithouta dress

a misty albatross that stretches beyond the wave, where memories are not yet born andtheeyesare silent,whilethefingerspredictanechoofmyland.

144

I will be my own Sleeping Beauty

dedicated to Noa Pothoven

I will embellish (my doll) with pink ribbons, yellow flowers in her hair, she will laugh incredulously, oh doll” Patty Pravo

I. The breath is void with which my body breathes to its Sinai, a bow of the universe which, through the soul, falls silent and vanishes, the crashing of my wings against the swollen instant of a panting sky where there were once certainties, where every inch of caress marveled and the constellations wooed the harmony of a bride, almost a Madonna, with which I blessed the days that wet by silence, as I felt them, crossing them, they resembled the edges of a horizon that burns and does not dry, names that now come back chapped by a tear and that remain without a body, full of a memory that a hand shakes and it is mine.

We want Peace, we don't want war
145

We want Peace, we don't want war

II. The pain is void which tends to the echo of a spasm which I recognize as the last act, a curl of a shell who tenaciously chases love at sunset when it is a blood orchard and his psalm remains bare and without a promise in the perseverance of earth while the wind writes its score for the solitude of the step which approaches the liquid line of the infinity and tightens its knot without waiting and without forgiveness.

III. The lights will go out and life will cool.

It will snow at the foot of the curtain.

And I will be my own Sleepy Beauty in a sincere and unforgettable applause, blue, and perhaps absurd, of the heart.

Ma-la-voglia

There’s in the short froth of a palpitation a God waiting like a chrysalis creating the waves’ host on which lazes my name

146

summer dust on figs are words when sunset makes them red hot by pulp at the sunset’s forgiveness where the silence salt, the shore burnt like skin smelling Malvasia

the scorching stones at the olives’ bottom they sigh like the heart’s untamed rings, when the fishermen offshore suspend the nostalgia of the sea and undo the distance from who we let go in the line of the horizon

so many stories tell the rocks, some get caught on the nets, other collected on the water’s edge like shells, who smells them is a wet snout of a dog or the crying in which was dried out a dream.

My city is sleeping.

The pain washed by the seaweeds at the fan of Mistral.

I’m counting all my happinesses on the noise’s end, while a seagull is carring love affairs in dialect, and the sign of the cross a lucky charm.

We want Peace, we don't want war 147

The chemistry of the silence beyond

Everything remains there, beyond my silence; everything remains there. My memory is my prison, me being a man is rarefied like a dream, my footprints are a scribble of salt, and I feel myself sucked in the empty yawn of the sea; my tongue bounces while it tries to reach the last prayer; my fingers drink from the sky while it empties out, where the pain broke its virginity. My heart is bitten by the hole, while my escape cracks in the cold, when live takes shelter in a parenthesis, and it lasts a habit, an obsession, and my entire silence beyond, and me. I count the burden of the days I have not been, or maybe of those I have been too much, or maybe.

We want Peace, we don't want war

I need to write a poem

A poem that will serve as peacekeeper

Between the God And Humanity

Between the brothers and sisters

Between my self and my mood

I need to find the verses

Be completely different from the past

And so new to fit in the present

Need to have one truth

Justified and accepted

Need to write a new story

A new book about the life

Every single day is a new discovery

People become evil

Failure earn in so many levels

And love is replaced with food

154

People are divided

Between those who love the food Between those who love the humanity

Need to write a poem about the fear And the dark

But many of stars are shining

So must not affraid of darkness. But definitely need to re organize in our mind what the unknown is like?

People are divided

Between those who love the food Between those who love the humanity

Is so, difficult to think with the stomach full People forgot to love and they become Slaves of their stomach

Little servants of this great stomach That cannot filtre anything

Poetry unites people

Poetry travels more fast than the unknown words, that remain unborn

In the mind of an author...

Need to write a poem About the happiness

We want Peace, we don't want war 155

We want Peace, we don't want war

The smile of the childrens...

The journey that never ends....

Who is the captain of the boat??

Forgiveness

A word that is coming out from the brave heart..

I am not asking to forgive as a Human

I am asking to forgive as a GOd

As HE has the kindness and the generosity to see the human mistakes.

I am asking to forgive not as a man

But as An Angel that every day and night Is traveling from Earth to Sky

I don't need any paper

Green or blue

I saw your heart

You had it there in front of me

I understand that silence

That silver silence

I am damned in sky and earth

I am just a soul traveling alone...

Seeking for forgiveness...

156

Long distance relationship

Days you smile

Nights I cry

Days u become silent

I become so communicative

Birds are coming from far lands

Back to their nest

Wondering will you come to our nest

Long distance relationship

My why become so long

Your words are a rainbow

In my rainy moments

Hope the heaven hear my prayers

Soon you are free from unknown chains

Hear my heart beat

Hear my heart voice

More and more

Every day

Every night

Singing for you

My precious man...

We want Peace, we don't want war
157

This war in not a video game.. You don't have 7 lives left. There is no save button.

People are dead You cannot ask for help You are alone out there

Poetry is therapy.

Poetry, talks to humans hearts.. Like Angels talk to Jesus.. Poetry belongs to everyone And everyone belongs to poetry..

Verses are sad Verses are happy

But feelings cannot hurt Words are hurting if humans talk bad

Poetry is my language Poetry unites people

Poetry opens doors

During hard moments

Truth was intoxicated

And nothing make sense

We want Peace, we don't want war Peace
158

We want Peace, we don't want war

Poetry opened a window

To my lonely life

I find brother and sister

In the other site of the planet

My prayers, My blessings

We keep the Light

We embrace humanity

Encourage the justice

I am the mirror of your soul

U are the mirror of my soul

We stay united

Poetry is my therapy

Poetry is my colorful life

We want Peace, we don't want war
160

Autumn arrived last night Sneaking up bright. The wind, crazy and enraptured, Was wandering the city all night.

Autumn arrived last night. With its yellow dress it glowed. It scattered the withered leaves On a wet, muddy road.

Autumn arrived last night Bringing dreamy rains. And now my every thought Smells of some sadness.

Autumn song

We want Peace, we don't want war

162

A thought of peace

And the thought

You can't hear it, you can't see it, but how close it is to you! And it comes off me in the form of silence, subtle and ethereal. It masters the mirage and longs for wish. It's nowhere and nobody, but it comes to you, to everything is life, to the end of the earth. And all those who perceive knowledge and desire PEACE from the bottom of their hearts, anywhere and anytime, here, now and in every moment they should write, to be aware of the world , living on a peacefully and quiet earth!

The rainbow of peace

We are on passing earth and the soul is always hungry for peace. We don't want wars, despair, parting, enmity, all together in a living fear. And, durringa war, people die of suffering, ruin, tears, coldwalls. While that peace we know, it's a miracle for the whole world!

We want Peace, we don't want war
163

We want Peace, we don't want war

And I just carry in my soul love and peace.

I want to put an end to the war, and I want to feel peace. In each of us peace is the white dove, laurel, the green olive, an awakened feeling.

And in written words you will be with me in the entire Universe, an immense beauty, in each verse.

You will find my peace into my words.

I want everything to be like a garden, like a snowy flower, on a white written paper.

And I will courageously set my eyes up to the sky, in the name of our ancient nation, that is gone now.

For the children that live now and for those who will come.

I want to split for them the dimensions they deserve.

I offer you a little of it through my verse, as of coming from God, but I always give you peace from my soul.

On the white sky there is a rainbow!

Faith and creation

For what reason are you or not the one who thinks he is guilty of the cold from the prophets, or of the warmth of the heart?

Let us not live in painful destiny, let us wish it be happily mixed up with willing and loving.

From the unseen world the potentials of existence come from the hidden unfathomable of the Universe,

164

There are the plans of the feeling according to which we live in our settlement of the earth.

They surround us with good and hard days that crush tears in release with obligation.

But there are also times when people thrive and live well, stepping on the bridges towards growing, through which they grow and love each other.

We will be as we choose either we are the black of night or thewhiteofpaperandchoosetofightfornomorecrimesandwars, And let theft, prostitution and unforgiveness disappear.

So is the disease, the pride , poverty, the drug and alcohol cravings of the world that sells to addicted people.

We alone must try to make a change with our own power and start from us through us and everything will be fine. Maybe not today, not tomorrow, not in a lifetime but someday we will still succeed and change ourselves towards perfection, towards the live as we wish.

And we will hope, we will share on winning for we are the being, and not by chance we are both creation and faith.

And maybe I'll come and tell you about the virtue of being

We want Peace, we don't want war 165

We want Peace, we don't want war

and I will rush to write to you about the ascension of the dream of my life, with my work, with my poetry. And achieving the incredible by driving away the disease of violence and fear of the present. For reality is my real present, always connected with everything and your present!

Getting out… from dream!

Our shadows in the dark loved each other, they met througout time.

They had wings as if they were flying with their sleep bent and torn, or raised, they were going under a smokescreen on another road.

On the kissed night, with heavy wings, they flew towards the stars.

Hanging delicately, they could be discerned as golden haired souls, born as if from fire, from the fire of their eyes, which looked as if they were burning smoldering, indistinct, inseparable.

At night she seemed to have forgotten them in a long kiss, but with her motherly hug in the verse she recovered them. and he reproduced them in poetry.

166

Shadows with a desire to move and from the fairytale landscape, the huge one, seemed like a drop of illusions on earth, an oath.

They no longer had wings and lost their flight the mystery remained as a bud on the branch of passion.

But the buds came off, in front of the world it seemed like a dream I was also writing and he was talking next to me and my buds and my muse … And they blossomed and they heard my verse.

You are a god and i am a goddess

Today I took my sun guide on the Elysian plains, he is a god and I am a goddess. It was until the last minute, when through the hidden sunset in heaven he led me. The sunset at night also brought her back in her passing moment.

But he stays with me, it burns my frozen mind with my old world, which was unparalleled.

In it I had people to love and tears for the fairy tale that is over. It melted my shooting stars, he also gave me flowing rays, written fire, and subscribed. And gladly at his dawn he rose for those who read my poems in lyric and in love with the pen.

We want Peace, we don't want war 167

We want Peace, we don't want war

It was love through instinct, but also detachment, constancy as a paradox, melted by heat. ecstasy and revelation in the present spirit, the poem smells of myrrh at the end of the sunset. And I bathed him only in pure springs, in places that seem familiar, in divine ropes where the grass and flowers throb. Bliss!

And everything sublimates healing, dynamic carrier to the sun in a state of love.

A bright descent, as the life that is transformed from the loser into the higher good.

A perpetuation!

You a god and I a god, dreamy poetry as an unraveled step, manifested essence. But my place is not here and I dance to the echoes of my heart, I'm leaving the Elysha Plain, now the scar remains under my feet and I am tasting of you as an allusion to the sun above, which daily goes to the west. Always the journey of time, in which I look for the cold spring and the shadow under the tent or cloud. Light and darkness!

You a god and I a goddess in a unique existence, in perfect harmony with the sun and the moon, night and day, and the disturbance in synchronization is only fleeting love!

BIOGRAPHY

My name is Dessy Tsvetkova, from Bulgaria. I love writing.

*

Coming by the green leaves, youth awakens the eyes, contemporing all the phases. According and turbulating with freshness. My conscious chooses the state of youth as long as the spring stones last.

*

From the near distance of illusory realities, through the fragile fortress of dreams, deep in oblivion

We want Peace, we don't want war
169

We want Peace, we don't want war

of the memories, all the way to infinity at a sharp angle of the vicious circle, with diamond precision sometimes, but always slightly distracted, love fills all the senses, until reason surrenders and love wins ...

I'm going that way ...

Light years, slow travel ... With the steps on each one

god's creatures, with the messages of drops of blood and sweat on the feet ...

Ages are leafing through their covers, corpse centuries old eclecticism,

170

the Minotaurs have disappeared, the rest are only the labyrinths ...

The heroes have arranged their names on the obelisks ...

Many more time

I have to go ...

The heart knows ... Wind vanes point, the relics are cornerstones, the way is love ...

I'm going that way ... *

Life is hatching, peeks through the shell and waves with paws, with wings,

We want Peace, we don't want war 171

We want Peace, we don't want war

with hands. It comes out of the dark womb, like a sudden sunrise from a black hole, such as creating the light. And it starts to move, to crawl to ramble, to roll over ... Life, like fire magic, immediately declares himself and everything around starts to shine.
