Quand les armes parlent, faisons parler les âmes.

🕊️ Faites de la poésie, pas la guerre. ✍️

C’est pour cela que nous mettons
de l’harmonie dans nos vers.

« Si les guerres écrivent l’histoire avec des armes et des pleurs,
Coécrivons l’avenir avec de l’âme et du coeur. »

La poésie nous rappelle notre humanité commune,
notre capacité à choisir l’amour et la lumière

et ouvre des chemins de dialogue,
de réconciliation et même les mots
qui inspirent les traités de paix entre les peuples.

Parfois, un poème peut aider à désarmer le monde. 🤍

✨ Si vous pensez aussi que la poésie peut contribuer à la paix,
laissez un 🕊️ ou un vers pour la paix en commentaire.

———————–

When weapons speak, let our souls respond.

🕊️ Make poetry, not war. ✍️

That’s why
we put harmony in our words
and in the world.

“If wars write history with bombs and tears,
Let’s co-write the future with love and dreams”

Poetry reminds us of our shared humanity,
and our ability to choose love and light

and opens paths of dialogue,
of reconciliation, and even the words
that inspire peace treaties between peoples.

Sometimes, a poem can help disarm the world. 🤍

✨ If you also believe poetry can contribute to peace,
leave a 🕊️ or a verse for peace in the comments.

Poetry4Peace – The Unity of Humanity 🌍 An infinite quest for harmony.

“Make poetry, not war
and bring peace to the world.”

People sometimes ask me:
Where does your poetry come from?
Why do you speak so much about harmony?

The answer is I went looking for it.
Across 2 world tours, since 20 years, as a quest,
I stood at the crossroads of humanity:

From the birthplace of Jesus in Nazareth to Jerusalem,
from Dome of the Rock to the Western Wall,
from the tomb of the poet Hafez in Shiraz in Iran,
to refugee camps in Ramallah in the West Bank
Onto the Evolution theory of Darwin in the Galápagos Islands,

From the Tree of Life in the Kabbalah,
To Meditation Buddhist retreats in Asia,
the World Social Forum in Nairobi,
Shamanic traditions in South America,
and orphanages around the world.

I tried to understand, feel, connect, magnify.

And somewhere along the way, I experienced a form of “overview effect”, as if stepping back far enough to see what unites us all, the common denominator of mankind, the “unity” inside the word “humanity”.

Since then, this has become my one life mission: build bridges where others see borders, turn reality into poetry like a hyphen between worlds.

From a globe-trotter
To a love believer
Onto a chief poetic officer
Inside a human odyssey.

Because poetry is a universal language, a kind of Esperanto of the heart, a love letter addressed to the world, a way to reconnect, to reconcile, to remember, that beyond cultures, beliefs, and conflicts… we are one.

“We’ll have won
if we remember
we are one.

One love. One dream.
One soul. One will.
One world. One team.

Humanity wanted—
in harmony
with all of the living.

The Universe
in a Unique Verse.”

✨ Let’s poetize the world together.
🕊️ Write a verse for peace.
🔁 And cowrite our common destiny.
