Feature Poem by Ghita Malvina
LET’S DO IT TOGETHER
Let’s do it together
Change the world on its rule for the better
Be – young or old, it doesn’t matter
We will be strong to fight together
To live a life in peace forever.
Let’s try it now together!
We should be changing
People’s life forever.
Reaching each other with love
We could find peace of mind.
And along the way’s
Of our life
We will keep all human kinds
Never – ever strife other life
But live together side-by-side!
The “Time” calls us today!
To change the world course on it’s way.
To stop rivers of tears.
Let life be smile. – Not anxiety, and fears
Black or white! Yellow face or red Indians
Together all what we want
Is go hand in hand.
And make peace in our “Land”!
[Translated from Hungarian to English]
– Ghita Malvina
Notes about the author:
Ghita was born in North Transylvania, Romania in 1920. She is a holocaust survivor. She lived under a 40 year communist regime and endured many hardships during the World War II disaster. Writing poetry and painting means the world to her. She writes poems and essays to release her soul – her writings are therefore a reflection of her inner-being. Ghita remarks, “I try to express a view to mankind that freedom, love and friendship are the most important things in our world.”
Ghita has some notable life accomplishments as a writer. In 2003, she published a poetry book called, “On my Way.” Her poems are recited in community centres, churches and temples. She was honoured with several Editors’ Choice Awards from the National Library of Poetry, granted the Poet of Merit Award from the International Society of Poets and elected into the International Society of Poets Hall of Fame and received from the Certificate of Appreciation of Art from the Remembrance Committee Toronto.
Ghita is a distinguished member of the International Society of Poetry and a member of the Educational and Memorial Institute of Toronto, member of the Canadian Hungarian Social Services and the Hungarian Writer’s and Friendship Circle at Barbara Frum Library.
The Hungarian Friendship and Writer’s Circle is honoured to have Ghita as a regular member of the circle. You can borrow Az élet futószalagján: versek by Ghita Malvina from our very own shelves.
