Little mouse in the war

The little mouse ran fast

while the noise and lighting of the war

they interrupted a voice:

“just a little more and then the light”

Where there is a war there is never light

Because war is death, because war is fear,

because war is pain

i want peace,

i want love

Domenico Solimeno

In a world of war i see you again after years,

you rekindled the light of hope in me even though time had passed.

My fear is not that of the inadequate and weak man, but the fear of the powerful man, without limits, the fear of the freedom we give ourselves over others, our greatest evil is ourselves.

Smooth water, is she me?
I met her once, but who is she?
In the mirror's clash, I battle free.

We have no Great War

No Great Depression

N. 1 “I watched my reflection in the mirror, and it all seemed normal. I looked closer and realized I’ve never been normal.”

N. 2 “I was hidden in a den, I was bleeding. I gathered the courage and shot in the chest the one who had hurt me the most, myself.”

N. 3 “Between exploding bombs and dying bodies, the only light was to see my partner Jason. I raise my hand to greet him but he didn't respond. He was attached to a tree, lifeless.”

Martina Langella.

It's not a first.
it's certainly not the second
yet you little flowers,
strangely encountered resist
with all your might
between bombs and gunshots
that torment this terrain.

In blood and mud, where life becomes short,

Two strangers meet, who is gonna be shot?

Strange meeting by Simona De Angelis

war is not just about using weapons,
but war is also wanting evil...
but one day everyone will find the right path and there will be peace in the world.

the years, the centuries pass,
but history repeats itself,
the wars continue
and many innocent people leave this earth...
will it perhaps be better to go towards a better life?
