NO WAR, not in my name!

This is my entry for #monomad challenge by @monochromes.

Gian Maria Bonaldi was an italian soldier who fought against Austrians on Adamello mountain, during World War I.

He wrote this poem:

"I morti è meglio
che non vedano quel
che sono capaci di fare i vivi
e la strada storta
che sta prendendo il mondo
è meglio che non si accorgano nemmeno
che noi siamo diventati
così poveri e tanto miseri
che non siamo capaci di volerci bene.
No, è meglio che i morti
stiano nella neve
e nel ghiaccio
e che non sappiano di noi,
altrimenti potrebbero pensare
di essere morti invano
ed allora si sentirebbero
ancora più soli."

"It's better the dead
don't see
what living people are capable of making
and the crooked road
that world is taking
It's better if they don't even notice
that we have become
so poor and so miserable
that we are not capable of loving each other.
No, it's better than the dead
stay in the snow
and in the ice
and that they don't know about us,
otherwise they might think
of having died in vain
and then they would feel
even more alone."

Dedicated to the crazy bull run towards armaments taken by CRIMINAL, POOR, STUPID and with SMALL BRAIN people like Emmanuel Macron, Olaf Scholz and many many others (outside Europe I can nominate Joe Biden and Benjamin Netanyahu).

I don't want to be an European citizen.
I don't feel to be an European citizen.

I feel embarrassed to live in Europe and I ask SORRY to all the world outside Usa and Europe for this situation.
Many European citizens, like me, are very angry and don't want, and don't vote these crazy people.
European value are inconsistent, Europe and Usa wants only to override economically the other side of the world.

Democracy doesn't exist in Europe, anymore.
Europe is culturally, morally and economically DEAD.

NOT IN MY NAME.

NOT IN MY NAME.

NOT IN MY NAME.

Here frozen cannons of World War I in an open sky museum on Croce Arcana pass, Italy.

Let's freeze the hate!
European people don't want war!

"Meno carri armati e più cari amati"
(it is an Italian language pun)

I want to breathe peace.

War is a defeat of humanity, war doesn't lead in any directions.

Gian Maria Bonaldi must be frustrated and sick of what’s happening in Europe at the period she wrote the poem
Nice pictures!
Nice poem!

Thank you. Human being doesn't learn anything from past history....

Right! 🥰

Every blessed day, we should spread love all around and peace also

outside Europe I can nominate Joe Biden and Benjamin Netanyahu

So you think that Putin who started the biggest European war since WW2 doesn't deserve the nomination? What about Hamas who conducted the most disgusting Medieval massacre in Israel?

If you are not mentioning these criminals, you are not against war, you are a supporter of war.

Yes, also Putin and Hamas are criminals, in fact I have written 'many many others'. Sorry if I haven't nominated them directly, but I do it now.

👍👍

Sorry for my reaction, I hastily thought you were the one who blames everyone except Russia which, as some say, "just had to" or any other bullshit.

This scum, Putin, poisons the life of every country around Russia and the life of normal Russians.

As for "no war", people are persecuted for this slogan in Russia.

For example, a Russian artist was sentenced to 7 years (in November 2023) for stickers demanding to stop the war:

Photo from the courthouse, day of the verdict / Reuters, from here. They had been keeping her in jail for 1.5 years to that moment.

I suffer for the the Russians who are paying to ask peace.
People don't want war, in Europe and also in Russia.
Governments want war, all governments, and they want to divide us.
I know there are many people who are paying with life and jail this crazy situation, I wish only to say that we must stay from the same side of history, the side where peace stay.
In Europe we don't risk jail to invoke peace, luckly, but there is a sort of social discrimination towards people asking peace.
We must stay joined against governments!

Governments want war, all governments

Don't think so.

We must stay joined against governments!

We must unite to keep democracy safe and help it in every country in the world - agree.

The photos of the frozen weapons combine very well with the theme of the post.
Wars are the worst thing about humanity and only cause pain and suffering, no war should ever happen.

Right.. Our governments have not the same opinion

You poured in so much emotion because it's really getting out of hand, the state of the world is something to weep over. Sometimes I wonder what man's problem really is?

Thank you. Maybe the problem of some men is greed for money and power, I suppose...

Going over such beautiful places increases our knowledge a lot. Earlier I didn't know where this thing was used.

I loved this post! Excellent with all, photos, poem. Enjoyed too much.

Thank you!

Where do you get such beautiful and strange pictures? Your pictures are really amazing.

Thank you! Place is in Italy, on a ridge on mountain called 'Croce Arcana pass', between Tuscany region and Emilia Romagna. There is a open sky museum with some cannons, referring to First World War. During winter there is sometimes a strong wind, and with under zero degree temperature and the humidity of near sea, there is this special ice formation.

by the way, I will come to Bangladesh in november!

I hope the EU becomes a great place again
That’s a good poem and the pictures look good

Thank you! I hope too, we need another EU, people must gain again the power to decide!!

Maybe I have been to much pessimist, but I'm very angry for situation, because government doesn't matter what people think. Maybe I have written things with too much anger and exaggerate, but it is what I feel, people should do something to change things, also some drastic thing, like a true revolution, to take the power again.
