The endless war and blackmail promoted by US imperialism in Iran, Africa, Venezuela and Cuba, and by Zionism in Gaza and Lebanon, continues with great danger to life, like the accumulated conflicts of human history that we have not been able or able to solve.

Generations of men and women, young people, boys and girls, we inhabit a rich planet where millions of people suffer from material and cultural needs, a world polluted by capitalism whose water sources are running out, a beautiful place in the cosmos undermined by selfishness and by the contempt of the powerful for life, adrift and hopeless.

 

The human spirit is wounded and deteriorates in a process of confusion and inertia that leads to non-existence. The world is falling apart in our hands. The species must act today to prevent it.

The World Poetry Movement calls the peoples of the earth and every person to speak out in a conscious, permanent and creative way on the streets.

We call for a global cultural revolution, for a historical action of the Human Spirit to extinguish the flames of war in the countries where it is fought, for generous dialogue that builds planetary peace, for sincere respect for differences, for perpetual and brotherly unconditional solidarity in human society.

 

The World Poetry Movement calls on peoples and nations, religions, the world working class, indigenous peoples and peasants, students and teachers, anti-nuclear fighters and peacebuilders, thinkers, academics, environmental and human rights defenders, poets and artists of the Earth to create, to intervene in public spaces and auditoriums, to publish on social networks poems, works of art and reflections on irreversible and immediate global peace.

The World Poetry Movement organizes a global poetry reading and calls on all its national coordinators to prepare face-to-face and virtual poetry actions around the world.

 

We appeal to the courage and power of the living in order to stop the impulse to kill and to die, we call on the soldiers to stop shooting and to press for the emergence of a powerful will for peace, social justice and sovereignty, today, now, here and everywhere.
