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.
