Tramonto di Figaro

Ras ad-Din

Seated on a Prussian chair 

with a glass of Armenian brandy in hand,

I’m watching a Baltic sunset 

from the roof of a house built by Swedes 

in what’s Russia today 

and listening to an Austrian’s Italian opera.


A guilty cosmopolitan pleasure

and an unattainable dream of the world 

I fear I’ll never be allowed

to live in anymore.

    you will!
    as long as you Choose
    to believe
    and control, the channels
    and radio dials, that infiltrate
    your life..
    believe in one humanity
    and allow yourself, to dream
    like those before you, did..
    a great write, dear Poet
    thanks for sharing
    stay Strong!
    'remember, even during war
    Nature
    gifts us, the same sunset
    and sunrise, we simply
    have to remember, to look-up
    and Indulge, in life
    even
    if just for a while..'
