What is peace?

It is a difficult question

Find it inside yourself first

Eliminating any revenge, power and war desire

Young people join together!

Together fight against war!

For peace

Showing your non violence along the streets

Working against poverty and social alienation

I am sure

Our world will change with our courage.

Peace

There is a right moment for everything

There is a right moment for every matter

There is a time for crying

There is a time for laughing

And a time for hate

And a time for love

There is a time for war

There is a time for peace

And it is certainly a victory against all enemies

It is what is good in opposition to evil

Far from being an absence of war

Peace is the height of bliss

It is fraternity that joins everybody

Every country in every time.

To Professor Albert Einstein
From Luigi one of his friends

Dear Albert,

                  itfs night,itfs really late for me but your words against war have remained so engraved in my mind that I canft fall asleep. I am really sorry to tell you that your hopes for a better world are still only hopes. We are going on killing ourselves with terrible weapons.

Do you remenber when you said the only way to save our world was a brotherly collaboration between people all over the world,people using their own mind for the benefit of mankind? Itfs terrible,the masters of war are trying to make us destroy ourn brains! In these days Ifm reading a book by Russell and he,as you have,has convinced me that war is only the worst way to make money, to satisfy a useless quest for power and to create reciprocal hatred between people that otherwise would love each other. So Ifve decided, together with people from different countries, to create a gbrotherhood stringh to try to change the situation. You probably donft know that we have the possibility gto chath, to exchange our ideas  with people from every part of the world therefore we can gfighth using our computers to reach our final aim:a world where the sky is free from missiles full of fear and pain.A world full of colours where the grass is green and thick, where trees are in blossom,where people enjoy nature and life,where children are happy,where the air is full of a peaceful melody....................

We are probably young dreamers but all together we will be able to carry on your great task and we will make a world of peace.

I hope to write you soon to tell you that we have realized our dream.

A Dream

Last night I was searching for something

Suddenly I saw a door,Ifd never seen it before.

I opened that door and I got into a dark and dirty room,

Where nobody had been for along time.

I was scared and I felt alone,all of a sudden

I heard a strange sound such as the sound of a bird.

In that moment I saw a cage.

 

There was shut up a pigeon.

He was afraid and tears were running down his face.

He looked at me and whispered softly:

gI want to fly again,I want to be embraced by the wind.

I want to see the smile on childrenfs face.....

Ifm waiting for the moment I can spread my wingsf

I believe in you:please,free me from this aching iron ring.h

 

 

He was so nice and pure,that I decided to let him go,

Suddenly that image faded out......

I tried to close my eyes so that I could see him.....

Then I realized:WAS IT JUST A NIGHTMARE..... OR A DREAM?

Please help me to make it to become true.....

Help me to let him spread his wings again......

Help me to free him,to free a dove called gPEACE

To Ghandi

From Manuela, one of his friends

 

Dear Ghandi,

 

Ifm sure that you can help me to face a crisis Ifm having at the moment: Ifm not able to relate myself to the world around me.I am thinking about your trust on mankind whose gholinesshgives us the possibility to live in a better world .If m asking myself if looking at the todayfs world you would have had the same idea! Have a look around!:from one side there is the horror of an gintelligent warh pretending to be a bringer of peace  ; on the other side there is theWest , the gpromised landh where a horrifying peace reigns sign of  indifference,resignation,alienation,mirror of a society that has chosen consumism as its religion.

But my dreams want to free themselves from their drawers where they have been locked for a long time! I canft ignore them! And your words of peace and love are really infectious!It is true we have civilized violence,but I hope that I can learn from you not to surrender to the apparent illusoriness of dreams so that I can fight without violence. It wonft be very easy:non-violence is the weapon of people with strong hearts! I will memorize your words:hIfm a practical dreamer .....I want my dream to become reality!h.

                                    Love from Manuela

Dear soldier Kim,

          This letter is for you and for all who,like you,are fghting in different parts of the world.Soldier Kim,you are there ,alone,surrounded by the sufferings and the sorrows of  people victms of  war.

You suffer from holding that useless weapon ,from thinking that you have to point that weapon at your brother. You want to open your eyes,to put an end to this nightmare:but it isnft a nightmare,itfs our present reality! We are forced to live it,but not to accept it! You wonder why we are behaving like this:you imagine a different world without racial prejudices where everyone can enjoy the right of life and the right of freedom and can pursuit happiness.

PEACE ALL OVER THE WORLD

Black and white men,

powerful men,

rich and poor.

Different for culture, religion and language,

But equal men, because equal is the heart

 which beats in every chest!

1 story for Sweden

If you want peace

fight war.

Donft submit!

Show your boldness.

Peace and love are important for us

They are as snowflakes

Which come down from heaven

Covering earth with smiles and innocence.

                               III A



Peace, harmonious word!


 Fine to listen.

 Difficult to live.

 Impossible!

One day peace will become

A dream come true.



Someday even the war

Will submit to the sound of a guitar.

Peace and harmony

Among the mankind

Will be the only important things.


I donft want the red to paint my peace.

Red is the colour of  blood.

 

I donft want the black to paint my peace.

Black is the colour of sorrow.

I need the green to paint my peace.

Green is the colour of hope.

 

I need the blue to paint my peace.

Blue is the colour of the sky,

where we will fly our white dove.
