In Genoa, in Rio, in Kyoto, Everywhere youth in the lead Against locusts` greed, `Love, not War` their motto. A growing flood Its anger fosters Against global monsters Who suck Earth`s blood. They face bullets, they face gas, They don`t hesitate Through flames to pass; Thus, the current grows, Challenging greed`s rate - `The river flows!` Concern for the global situation was Christos Christidis`s incentive for Plain Sonnets - a collection of poetry in which bitter language and irony describes a greedy, biased, self-catastrophic and wolfish humankind, but is also balanced with an optimistic view for a better world based on peaceful bonds and shared humanity. AUTHOR BIO: CHISTOS CHRISTIDIS was born in Piraeus, Greece. He is a graduate of Athens University, School of Philosophy, and has a PhD from the University of Reading, England. He has mostly worked in the Greek education system and, voluntarily, in various non-government organisations concerned with the global situation.
