The Manekken Pis
The Manekken Pis
flowers at his little feet
mourning senseless death
In sorrow for the people of Brussels, and for all whom are victims of cruelty.
(The bronze statue on the corner of Rue de l'Etuve and Rue des Grands Carmes was made in 1619 by Brussels sculptor Hieronimus Duquesnoy the Elder, and is to Brussels what the Statue of Liberty is to Manhattan, or Big Ben is to London.)
