listening to sweet string music
played by street musicians
on both sides
of the now peaceful
Austrian-Hungarian border
in a landscape beautiful
cultivated and serene
the knowledge
that over many centuries
in this lovely landscape
the border was serious
and hundreds of thousands
lost their lives
in battles on minefields
in persecutions
almost brings tears to my eyes
in helpless anger
over humankind‘s inhuman waste
of lives
