TALKING WEAPONS AND PEACE – Michel Montecrossa’s New-Topical-Song apropos Russia-Ukraine War and Boris Pistorius

‘Talking Weapons And Peace’, released by Mira Sound Germany on Audio-CD, DVD and as Download, is Michel Montecrossa’s New-Topical-Song apropos Russia-Ukraine War and Boris Pistorius dedicated to the victims of the bloody Russia-Ukraine War.
‘Talking Weapons And Peace’ is a profound statement of insight into the complex interdependence of weapons and peace in a world of ideologies and intolerance.
Michel Montecrossa in his New-Topical-Song ‘Talking Weapons And Peace’ sees the painful need for armies and weapons as a bitter last minute cure for the illness of deadly fanaticism that is leading to catastrophes like the Russia-Ukraine War.
But much more than counting on weapons Michel Montecrossa looks beyond the immediate violence and narrow-mindedness of dehumanization to the evolution of strong human unity ethics and true peace diplomacy as the effective long-term answer that can prevent self-radicalization from becoming so obsessive that only war and violence seem to remain as remedy.

“My New-Topical-Song ‘Talking Weapons And Peace’ apropos Russia-Ukraine War and Boris Pistorius. In the world of today ideologies can’t be killed. They can only be changed for the better by strong human unity ethics and true peace diplomacy convincingly backed by strong armies.”

TALKING WEAPONS AND PEACE
At the time when I wrote this song / the earth was a divided world. / Mankind stood in weapons. / Strong weapons for strong peace. / Good weapons for strong soldiers, they say.
A divided world of a divided mind. / The red line dividing war from peace / is drawn by force of weapons. / Strong weapons for strong peace. / Good weapons for strong soldiers, they say.
Soldiers must be strong with the ethics / of peace through courage and will / to end the war before it begins. / Strong armies for strong peace. / Good armies for strong security, they say.
The honor of armies is to strengthen diplomacy. / The honor of diplomacy is to end insecurity, / to bring peace through conviction. / Strong diplomacy for strong peace. / Good diplomacy for strong security, I say.
At the time when I wrote this song / strong weapons stood against the evil / securing time for peace and union building. / Strong weapons for strong peace. / Good weapons for strong people, they say.
You must be master of your weapon – / the weapon must not master you. / You must prevent the war, not start it. / Stand for the true, the right, the vast / and make the loving peace last, I say.

Michel Montecrossa says:
“‘GÜNTER GRASS IS RIGHT: WORLD WAR IS BAD ‘ is a New-Topical-Evolver-Song triggered by the controversial Günter Grass poem ‘Was gesagt werden muss / What has to be said’. It is not a song about politics but about what the people want in these times of world war fears, disinformation and big trading of weapons: The people want peace, unity, freedom, jobs, education and security for themselves and their children. They don’t want the destruction of their lives, brain messing and always more horrible weapons.
Listen to ordinary people in Israel or Iran and all over the world. They talk with each other in the internet and want peace, not war. To wish for the destruction of a nation is not what the people want. That’s why I sing this song triggered by a poem which is somewhat lopsided and certainly controversial, but at the same time a good occasion to think about ways for proper handling of complex realities which pose a threat to the life of us all.”

GÜNTER GRASS IS RIGHT: WORLD WAR IS BAD

Günter Grass is right: World War is bad.
We have to speak about the root of all
hate and misunderstanding,
of blindness and of anger,
of conflict and ill will.

Günter Grass is right: about facts we have to talk
free in mind and true, ready to find the ways
to peace and understanding,
to celebration of humanity,
to joy of human unity.

Günter Grass is right: trading of weapons is a danger
strengthening war in the world and the willingness to kill.
Better let us strengthen
the readiness to live together
and to solve our problems together.

I see the people everywhere: they don’t want wars.
Old and young want peace and love for all the world,
good work and not poverty
freedom and the contacts
connecting all and making us happy.
