This post is dedicated to those who have fallen and for those who are fighting for our freedom. We will be always grateful for their sacrifices.
In Flanders Field
by John McCrae (1872-1918)
In Flanders fields the poppies blow
Between the crosses, row on row
That mark our place; and in the sky
The larks, still bravely singing, fly
Scarce heard amid the guns below.
We are the Dead. Short days ago
We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow,
Loved and were loved, and now we lie
In Flanders fields.
Take up our quarrel with the foe:
To you from failing hands we throw
The torch; be yours to hold it high.
If ye break faith with us who die
We shall not sleep, though poppies grow
In Flanders fields.

It would really be a utopic world with no fighting and crimes and political systems that hurt humans? It seams it is.
All our love for those who risk their lives for freedom!
