Caroline C. Nazareno Çmimi Special për Konkursin "Frang Bardhi" - 2014 ( poezi anglisht)
Andromeda’s HourglassI heard about mental mapping
Formulas to convince generations
That a transformed malachite mind can do better
Teach better, love better
Or worst, it can kill or deliver you to hell
I have come across universal responsibilities
All rallying for greater wars
All the world clash to their invented disasters
I am fed up. I am drunk. I am drowned.
All the papers and the boob tubes make me knowledgeable
About genocides, atrocities, violence and human struggles
Human rights have nowhere to rule
While humans assume peace miracles
I am a potter of peace.
I can shape a little form
Of mainstreams to rebuild
A new hope, a new ray, a new wave of true humanity
I just don’t mimic in the bricks of harmony
I am the tippler cylinder, my own time machine to mediate
To send peace-Andromeda to my siblings, to my neighbors even enemies
I can be a sower of understanding
I can be a peacemaker, free from unfounded reasons
I am an impartial hourglass
Whose glass tubes can start
A grandstand of maturity—I love all.
