“ Forget-Me-Not . . . “


artists4peace's avatarArtists4Peace


Lonely I walked the castle halls
Like a spirit trapped ‘twixt times,
Even the strongest kingdom falls
With peace supplanted by war’s crime.
And here the crumbling, muted truth
Does tell the tale of broken youth.

For years the sun smiled brightly
On fields of blue and yellow blooms,
Joyful sounds of the noble and knightly
Danced heartily from every room.
But scarcely could one hear them now,
The ruins lay silent, honoring their vow.

Why would one come to such a place,
To find company among the ghosts?
What foolish mind doth deign to face
A grave seeking bodies to host?
Flowers are now blooming anew ’round this vestige of greed,
But should we forget what laid it low, it shall rise again to feed.

Les derniers jours sur
Les bords du lac Léman, dans
la douce Suisse.

Loin dans l’extrème orient,
La Koi attend mon retour.

Let’s discuss Ukraine’s refugee crises

    I remember sometime ago when I raised concerns about Ukraine’s crises and warned about ‘Ukraine producing refugees‘, a situation we might not want to see. Since then, I’ve been following the situation in Ukraine, the twists and turns of the crises and its effect on ordinary citizens. Now, I see my fears playing out exactly as I imagined it.
     Let me briefly highlight the current situation in Ukraine:
The United Nations has warned of a ‘mass exodus’ from Ukraine owing to the crises and insecurity in the country’s East. There has been a sharp increase in the number of displaced persons in the country. At least 117,000 people have fled their homes and are currently displaced due to the conflict in eastern Ukraine. The United Nations agency for refugees (UNHCR) says that about 730,000 Ukrainians have left the country for Russia this year.
