EUROPE TO THE PEOPLE!

Europe is a Castle

This poem originally appeared in EuropeNow, on 16 May 2023.

​Europe is a castle.
Where the wide plains of Asia strangle, stand its chiselled outline, its inner moat, its ocean-backed towers.
Europe is a castle.
An aggregate of shelters, propitious to resistance, where the hopes come to vanish of the empire and the tyrant.

Europe is a castle.
A monument of myriad memories, forged by tireless centuries, a motley mosaic of eras, styles, and dreams.

Europe is a castle.
A vertiginous testimony to human audacity, where the eyes of the world first met, like a sun born from its rays.
​
Europe is a castle.
And Ukraine is its rampart.
