I agree with you humanist but here we are not talking about love or the humanity. You suggested to ask from children to come up with a national anthem. Do you think that your idea is original? I even remember my self in school trying to compose a song or write lyrics about our new anthem which will be used to a unified Cyprus or poems that was going to published as a piece of our willingness for unification. I remember my self drawing pictures with a unified world, with a unified Cyprus, drawing a Cyprus without borders, full of love, friendship, love, peace, humanity, brotherhood...do you want me to continue???
But what happened with those poems, those lyrics, those pictures...my draws was included in the competition twice for those reasons...after that? just we waited until next year for the next competition and the next promise to use those lyrics or pictures...
I want to laugh with all this now...yes they try to make us human beings with love in our heart ... do you believe that all those helped us? Every time that we draw or write something and then go home and tell it to relatives or friends they just smile to pleased us...and then we heard them discussing about politics etc and how useless are all this.
Ask from Talat or Papadopoulo to do that!!
