WE WANT TO LIVE IN PEACE 

Maria Kolovou Roumelioti

War is blind and deaf like Charon...
It does not see!... It does not hear!...
It does not distinguish.. It does not choose...
It does not recognize good and evil... Right and wrong....

Everyone and everything are in the same bag with snakes...
Young... Old... Children.... Women... Men... Parents....

It separates mothers and children... Women from men.
It destroys bodies and souls .Vast Empires. Eternal Civilizations.

It wipes out entire generations leaving behind it only rubble 
with the smell of death.
The living dead- Shadows wandering in the ruins 
looking for signs of life...
The wounded who are slowly dying.

In war, there are no winners. Everywhere, losses and victims are counted.

Death is the ruler... With the smell of burning, in the hair of children......

And we are, simple people!.... And We Want to Live in Peace!
