Gunpowder

The frozen flowers are being painted 
by an unknown painter.
The butterflies are looking for gunpowder
in the winter
to burn themselves,
to burn these beautiful frozen flowers.

A Chaotic Circle with the power,
with the guns and gunpowder;
It confines everything except stars.
I want to brake these bars!

Without love our only chance is a miracle.
Can we save the butterflies
from this vicious circle?
Can we change the smell of gunpowder?
Can we change the world?

That appears to be a question without an answer. I have written lots of poetry taken from the Balkan situation, it seems the world cares not one tad more than it cares for East Central Africa. We must work harder.
