The Rest is Silence

...but only at the very end.



There are too many voices I loved, that have fallen silent in the past years. Due to resignation because they being mostly the voices of reason have been shouted down by hate and egomaniacal ignorance. I especially miss my friend Thomas, with whom I had so wonderful discussions that another friend called us poets - though I'm certainly not ;) - even though he is from Kenia and doesn't understand a single word of German.
There is at least one more important lesson to be learned from Jaromír Hanzlík's Cyrano: Never give up, even if the world's ignorance hits you, even if other people gather the fruits of your achievement. Life is indeed only worth living if you go for it.
