Inhalt: |
In Genoa, in Rio, in Kyoto,
Everywhere youth in the lead
Against locusts' greed,
'Love, not War' their motto.
A growing flood
Its anger fosters
Against global monsters
Who suck Earth's blood.
They face bullets, they face gas,
They don't hesitate
Through flames to pass;
Thus, the current grows,
Challenging greed's rate -
'The river flows!'
Concern for the global situation was Christos Christidis's incentive for Plain Sonnets - a collection of poetry in which bitter language and irony describes a greedy, biased, self-catastrophic and wolfish humankind, but is also balanced with an optimistic view for a better world based on peaceful bonds and shared humanity.
