Kia ora Anthony, I love your poem very much. And I agree wholeheartedly with the sentiment you communicate. I don't know what else to say. I see what is happening in the world and I feel anger, sadness, some despair, and not a whole lot of hope for the trajectory we seem to have set for ourselves. But I will still hope.

Let's hope that diplomacy, which is the way nations communicate, will give an end to the wars we are talking about. Humanity needs a future.
Best regards, Anthony

Anthony, this is so personal and touching, simply beautiful in its painful truth. You seem to be a true poet. I heard your track shortly after hearing a radio feature about Peter Thiel... what a stark rollercoaster of emotions. In Germany, we have a saying that goes, "Hope dies last."
Thank you!

Thank you Micky, I am really happy you liked the poem. Here in Greece we use the same saying "Hope dies last" and I understand which hope you are talking about. We need to believe in better days and universal peace and harmony. So difficult matters....we talk about life and death, dignity, freedom, fear, despair, courage and glory. Whose poetry will remain silent?
We need to take care of each other, in our thoughts, our words and our acts.
We are all part of this instance, the present time that is to become past. Let's not waste it in hatred.
Best regards, Anthony

Truth is a simple thing that man turned into a very complex one.
Really happy you will not forget.
In Greek alethea is for truth. Lethe is to be forgotten, the oblivion and A stands for the non, so alethea actually means to not be forgotten.
Best regards, Anthony

May you be blessed for carrying the burdens that others bear. It's a beautiful poem, perfectly accompanied by the right tune. The pain and losses that come with war can only truly be understood by those who have lived through it - the rest of us can only imagine. Together, we pray for peace and harmony, in Jesus' name. Amen.

Great poem. I really like it! As a child that lost family in the war, and lived through the war, this poem had big emotional impact on me.
Good job Anthony!
AnthonyAttard
AnthonyAttard replied 15th Aug 2025 - 1 week ago
I only can respect a person who really lived war. War of course is not hidden in an old paper, but in your losses and the sorrow that comes along. It is so encouraging for me to see you, despite this tremendous experience, write beautiful, emotional and inspiring music.
Best regards, Anthony

Hello Anthony, This text is deeply moving. Even though you wrote it several years ago, sadly it hasnt lost any of its relevance! Who would have thought that after so many years of peaceful rapprochement between different peoples, religions, and political systems, we would once again find ourselves reflecting on war, destruction, displacement, and death - right in the heart of Europe? Thank you for sharing this poem. Warm regards, Manuela
AnthonyAttard
AnthonyAttard replied 13th Aug 2025 - 1 week ago
Hello Manuela
I do not know if peace is "no war", or true acceptance and communication, common dreams about the world and its habitats. Is peace a piece of paper? Is war an old letter...? Oh no, it is not. I understand you are so worried about all these deaths and you are right. Everyone should.
It all started from you here on LM, so I thank you for sharing your deep feelings with us.
Warm regards, Anthony

A complex and brave poem - unusual theme and the tune conveyed ur emotions
AnthonyAttard
AnthonyAttard replied 13th Aug 2025 - 1 week ago
Yes, I agree with you Kay, there's a complexity, mirroring us. It is not the happiest situation to write some rhymes on, but yes, it is for the brave ones. Those who cross the line and stand fearless against an enemy, to protect freedom and dignity. They are snow, they are blood...they are simple creatures of this earth, they are part of cosmos and they want to taste again the wine and the warm sweet bread, as we all do. They want to feel their dad's hand and enjoy family moments, as we all do. They are heroes simply because they are. It is my huge admiration for these people that lead me to writing this letter.
Thank you for your thoughtful comment.
Best regards, Anthony

Thank you dearest brother....I know how well you know this message so I am so glad you pointed it out. Oh yes, it is obvious I like the emotional approach to such aspects of life, I believe there is plenty of space for different feelings to gather up, it is our complexity as Kay wrote and I agree.
Much love !

Hi Anthony, wow, this is quite powerful stuff, a very emotional statement to make and under the current global situation, it's very relevant. I really like the lo-fi effect on both the music, which is quite haunting and the vocals. This is a great piece of work. Well done my friend.

Description : We've reached the limit of LM. Some songs will have to be removed but there are things left yet. I have to complete my "album" and I'd like very much to show to you a nice idea which includes poetry. I've had a conversation with chat GPT about a poem of mine and it gave me a suggestion of a musical presentation of such poems. There are more so I dared to try the idea. Great help in rendering the poem to English (not a translation word by word) and cool ideas about the setup of the audio file.

Description : Something a bit different (is it?) based on a poetry piece from Arthur Rimbaud. It's a bit difficult to translate this text but this is pure genius IMHO: I put the french poem in the Lyrics... ok some french characters are not supported so sorry no Lyrics and you'll have to look it up :)
VOYELLES, Arthur Rimbaud, Poesies.
