Once I was asked: “If you can witness a historical moment, which would you choose?”
I answered without much hesitation: “The end time of the biggest war.”
When the news of the armistice came from the radio
Lovers kissed each other without a care
Children laughed and ran to the arms of the parents
Mother hugged her grown son tightly
Wounded veteran in wheelchair burst into tears
I want to hear the singing of lasting peace
I want to smell flowers blooming on the battlefield
I want to see people no longer nervous about the rising sun
I wish to witness the rarest moment in human history:
Freedom and harmony were unprecedently valued
Ruthlessness came to an end
Humanity shone again
