Throughout history, art has been a way to express feelings, concerns, opinions. Nowadays, art is still used for that purpose. Art is also a way to reach out to, and, maybe even more important, to connect people.
With a hidden world-war becoming a visible and very real one, art is needed again. Read our art, listen to the messages, take it in.
Reach out, connect.

Freedom should not be a fantasy
For all it should be a right
And where others have it,
Their hands must extend the fight
To bring in the lost and starving
From lands that deny them peace
To hold them in warm comfort
Immigrants, and wayward refugees
As when one loses human rights
All humans lose their liberty
Freedom should not be a fantasy
Denying it is evil’s egocentric vanity
So stand up tall and reject this hate
Speak for those who are targeted
Don’t relax and accept our fate
For their fate and ours
are connected

Escape into Fantasy
Only option left
to create a peaceful reality?

A dark ink blue of the sky faded into a beautiful dawn.
A bright morning blushed and glowed warm,
The echoing silence gave in to the sweet songs of morning,
The rains that were making love with sorrow,
Gave the rainbow clad sky, a newborn charm.
All the fantasies defeated the nightmares,
The day shone gold as dreams came true,
All the life filled back into the world
As the sky turned the palest blue,
and the clouds were painted silver.
My fantasy, a place, a happy place in the dark, cold world. A dream that shall come true if
we all think bright and positive and happy. A fantasy of every human being,
to make the earth, our paradise,
if only we take the efforts to be happy!
