A message for peace

Creative writing group of Karpenisi General High School: Alexandra, Gionida, Dimitris, Irini, Efi, Natalia
The students who make up the creative writing group of the Karpenisi General High School wrote this poem and created this audio message for peace.
“Peace is not carcasses on the street,
fallen as if leaves of a golden autumn
Peace is not our home burning,
collapsing, bringing our dreams down
and leaving only the old armchair standing last among debris, a throne of Death
Peace is not the day overtaking the night horror,
or broken pictures,
or flowers lying on the ground covered in blood.
Peace is the hand that fetches
water to comfort the burning eyes
Peace is the fingers that join
to embrace the earth during the dance of joy,
so that the hidden children can drink and enjoy
the sun, the stars,
the bread and oil
they cherish in a world feast”
