An allegorical ballad describing the current deliberate escalation due to Western arrogance and hubris. Thanks to my daughter for singing with me, to Anja, Lea and Pete for proofreading the English text, and to The Saker for suggesting the allegory in his article “Hold my beer and watch this!” (03/2018).
Note by the Saker:
When Krysztof sent me his video I was deeply moved by the immense power of its purity, simplicity, honesty. This is not a PhD. thesis about the sorry state of international affairs, this is a direct and straightforward expression of emotion, a deep longing for peace. That is exactly the way I feel deep inside myself and when I saw this video the dark shadow of loneliness and despair which always lurks over my soul receded for a few precious moments. I am deeply grateful to Krysztof and his daughter for their beautiful gift.

UPDATE: Krysztof just sent me another video of his. I like it so much that I feel I have to post it here too:
Wondrously apt. Thanks.
Thank You!!!
To Krysztof, daughter and friends. :)
Perhaps Russia should adopt the Gadsden flag (“Don’t Tread on Me”):

Great Idea. Especially because I know I will hear a few of my know-nothing countrypeople declare that to be a “communist” symbol. LOL! Just watching them jeer and sneer at a symbol of their own revolution would be priceless. :)
Wonderful and moving. Thanks so much.
I feel stronger when I realize we are not alone, with such spiritual values there is a force in action !
Thank you for sharing such values !
beautiful.
Knowing Krysztof for four years, since we have started with a couple of others to counter the bellcistic mainstream discourse by adding to alternative publication, after our articles and comments, being simply statements for peace, had been even banned from a former smaller left established online platform and newspaper, I thank the Saker for publishing the two songs he wrote and performed in other languages than German.
Krysztof was so friendly to mention me under his song, although I did nothing but reading his lyrics over.
If anybody is interested in listening to other songs on his Youtube channel (perhaps especially those who understand German), the link is here:
