"Hopefully, we will live to see the day when poverty, hunger, injustice and war will all be just poetry."

- Eva-Viorela, Romania

fragility

Smoke and cries are drowning the blue,

a black thunder just killed a second -

- ticking mournfully in allarmed hearts.

Where is justice? Where's eternity?

they blew up the Absolute, the sphere refuses its form,

watch the glass beads unwinding

as shivers tear up the air.

up above this choir of madness,

white pigeons flutter with fear

flying confused

towards another fragile dream of happiness.

- Eva-Viorela, Romania

Let's begin listening to one another. We want to hear what you think about poverty, hunger, injustice, war, the developed world, the developing world, and everything in between. And we want these words and images and songs to begin an authentic conversation. Where we learn from you. And where you learn from one another. Start speaking. Don't be silent.
