TRIBUTE 

 

TO THE CHILDREN OF AFGHANISTAN AND ANYWHERE ELSE IN THE WORLD, BE THEY BELIEVERS OR NOT!

 

9 September 2001: A dreadful and infamous attempt perpetrated against Ahmad Shah Massoud, a man of exceptional and deep goodness, cost him his life, thus bringing gloom and revolt to the hearts of the people who knew him but also to all those who - by an unforgivable indifference from the Western media, with the exception of Christophe de Ponfilly and his friends - were not even given this opportunity to know him.

In this entirely fictitious story, written to bring a little comfort to the numerous people still mourning his cruel loss, the role of mystic animals has not been neglected - not only Borâq, the magnificient stallion of the Prophet Mahomet, but also the birds and the ants are participants.

In this little collection of poetry, the reader will find several similarities between the different religions, perhaps one more little step towards tolerance and respect due to others and their differences...

May the family, friends, people and all the admirers of the "Light-bearer", find a little relief throughout this fable in which the black notions of politics, hate, fanaticism, war and unhappiness were intentionally excluded.  This in order to give a free access to dream and magic, so fiercely absent in our world, and to show the beauties of the Muslim religion - a faith most hastily and contemptuously disparaged and slandered nowadays.

Best regards and respect to the people of Afghanistan and any other people suffering from racial or religious prejudice.

Monia

You will find here both British and American English, as we chose the first for our personal liking and prefer to leave the second in the tests and poems in which it was placed.  So there is no mistake of spelling here:  (marvellous, marvelous/honour, honor/travelled, traveled/moulded, molded, fulfil, fulfill and so on). 

 

 

 

 

 
Dear Madam, 

You have most willingly sent me a copy of your book of poetry in tribute to Commander Massoud, book of which you are the author. 

As you wrote in your letter, my former position of President of the European Parliament, allowed me to welcome officially Commander Massoud in Strasbourg at the beginning of April 2001.   

By this invitation, I wanted to mark the political gratefulness of the International Community to a charismatic hero of the Afghani resistance, the man would put an end to ten years of Soviet invasion and fought with determination against the barbaric rule of the Taliban, fanatics who violated the basic rights and human dignity.

Thus, I was deeply touched and stricken with grief at the murder of this man that took place some days before the terrific attacks against the World Trade Center.  We could regret that the Western people did not help him more in his fight.

It is with great emotion that I receive your book today and I sincerely thank you for this gift.

I warmly congratulate you for the quality of your poetry and for generosity towards Afghanistan.

Yours very faithfully,

Nicole Fontaine

Letter from Mrs Nicole Fontaine, former President of the European Parliament, the only French personality who welcomed Massoud during his visit to Paris in April 2001.

 

LE MONDE EST DANGEREUX A VIVRE NON A CAUSE DE CEUX QUI FONT LE MAL MAIS A CAUSE DE CEUX QUI REGARDENT ET LAISSENT FAIRE ! THIS IS A DIFFICULT WORLD TO LIVE IN NOT BECAUSE OF THOSE WHO DO EVIL BUT BECAUSE OF THOSE WHO LOOK AT IT AND LET IT BE DONE!

LA VERITE/THE TRUTH

LA VERITE

 

La beauté est éternelle

comme la vérité.

On dit qu'un homme est trois

choses à la fois :

ce qu'il pense être,

ce que les autres pensent de lui

et ce qu'il est vraiment.

A quel moment peut-on figer un homme

s'il doit encore vivre et vieillir ?

Il doit changer.

Comme la chenille se transforme

en une créature encore plus belle.

 

(tao te ching)

THE TRUTH

 

Beauty is constant as is the truth.

Seek and find what is the truth.

It has been said that

a man is three things:

What he thinks he is,

what others think he is

and what he really is.

At what point in time

can a man be fixed and frozen

if he is to live and grow?

He must change.

As the lowly caterpillar transforms itself

into a finer and more beautiful creature.

CONFIANCE/TRUST

CONFIANCE

Si un ouvrier bâtit une maison,

s'il frappe sur la tête d'un clou

et que la pointe ne pénêtre pas,

l'ouvrier doit-il perdre confiance

dans tous les clous

et renoncer à bâtir sa maison ?

Le mal doit s'affronter par la force.

Mais c'est la confiance en l'homme

qui fait apparaître le bien.

De cette façon nous sommes préparés pour le mal,

mais nous encourageons le bien.

Quand on veut parvenir à un idéal,

il ne faut pas attendre de récompense.

Quelquefois une confiance complète en l'homme

peut apporter de grandes récompenses et

même plus grandes que le bien...

L'AMOUR !

  

(tao te ching)

TRUST 

If, while building a house,

a carpenter strikes a nail

it proves faulty by bending

does the carpenter lose faith

in all nails and stop building his house?

Deal with evil through strength.

But affirm the good in men through trust.

In this way, we are prepared for evil,

but we encourage good.

In striving for an ideal,

We do not seek rewards.

Yet trust does sometimes

bring with it a great reward...

even greater than good.

LOVE!

LA BRISE/BREEZE

LA BRISE

 

La faiblesse gagne sur la force.

La douceur est conquérante.

Deviens la calme et reposante brise

qui tournoie sur les mers violentes.

 

(tao te ching)

BREEZE

 

Weakness prevails over strength.

Gentleness conquers.

Become the calm and restful breeze

that tames the violent sea.

LA PAIX/PEACE

LA PAIX

 

Recherche toujours la paix.

Ne te mets pas sur le chemin des autres,

à moins que ton âme ne soit en danger.

Nous sommes tous liés par nos âmes.

En mettre une en danger,

les met toutes en danger.

 

(tao te ching)

PEACE

 

Seek always peace.

Wear no path for the fooststeps of others,

unless the soul is endangered.

To endanger one,

endangers all.

LA FLEUR/THE FLOWER

LA FLEUR

 

Regarde des lotus dans un bassin.

Certains s'épanouissent dans l'air.

C'est par les racines que le lotus s'alimente.

Il n'a pas besoin de plonger ses feuilles.

Certains autres croissent juste à la limite

entre l'air et l'eau.

Une troisième catégorie vit constamment immergée.

Quelle qu'en soit la variété, elle demeure une fleur.

Dans la mesure du possible,

établis des relations de bon voisinage avec

tout le monde.

ACCEPTE TOUTES LES FACONS D'ETRE...

MAIS RESPECTE D'ABORD LA TIENNE !

 

 

 (tao te ching)

 

 

 

La nuit du destin/The night of destiny

THE FLOWER

 

In the pond there are some lotuses

which stand above the water.

And though their roots feed,

they are themselves untouched by it.

Some others have risen only

to the water's level.

And others are still under water.

Examine the flower...

Is it not the flower, in each position,

yet a flower ?

As far as possible, without surrender,

be on good terms with all.

ACCEPT THE WAY OF OTHERS.

RESPECT, FIRST, YOUR OWN!
