Dear Takis, I was pleased to publish your poem on your personal page: http://www.peacefromharmony.org/?cat=en_c&key=138 Your poem is excellent in terms of suffering and pessimism. But why are not optimism, hope and enthusiasm at the student of life, who studies the ABC of Harmony, who wrote in it “Hymn to Holy Harmony” (p. 263) as the best bridge to peace? I quote your hymn below. I think it will help you write a poem: “Best Bridge to Peace is Harmony from Harmonious Education in the ABC of Harmony”. I wish you the creative imagination in this direction.

Panayotis (Takis) Ioannides was born on 15 April 1955 in Kallithea, Athens, Greece.

We forgot our ability to fly where we wish with our free thoughts. We suffocate inside our deceptive - protective armors of egoism. We are balloons which deflate by any casual pin of disharmony. We locked our hearts inside the materialistic safe. Not synchronized, we jump from cloud to cloud and our life values are fallen down from our pockets. We are not free, and our eyes are closed covered with the veil of fanaticism. Standing in a position too inconvenient which gets souls pathetic, inconsiderate and unbearable tired, we sleep too deep, never changing side, no reacting, at all. We are satisfied with the hallucinated burners, with the unimportant perishables. We are crushed producing an deafening noise, but we are unable to hear it. We banished the real, the true and the plasticity of our instinct depriving it’s ability to hag this world all around us. We lost our ability to look this Life directly on eyes with bravery and dignity. We keep the bridges of PEACE unused. Fellow humans please tell me, how we shall manage to pass on the other side, over our differences without PEACE bridges? By Takis Ioannides, student of this LIFE 8 March 2013
