Pace e Bene – 29 May 2025

“In the clouds of tear gas,
We bring hope and ideals,
The streets of the world filled with rage,
Let the savages pass,
Even if the worst happens,
Resistance breathes!
It’s been way too long,
That we submit, that we say ‘yes,’
Especially when we are told
That everything has a price.
I dream of the moment,
Where time will no longer be money,
But a smile, an outstretched hand
Will be appreciated and recognized
As a sign of wealth and not of weakness.
Let’s revalue what’s free because life is priceless!”

—Karma Sista, “Resistance Breaths” (translated from the French by Nadia Mejjati)
