' Tyne Cot '

when you left
for the front
you were
living heroes
and now
you are on top
of the hill
where only
poppies
blow..........

Polygon Wood

like a shrine
you lie
in the middle
of the wood
and warn
of those
who preach
peace
and make
war

PAPIRAC

The real post-war power
is still the one of the 'Uebermenschen'
and this 'democracy' can't be realized
but on the back of the 'Untermenschen' !

biografia:

Jan Theuninck [born June 7, 1954], is a Belgian painter and poet. Although born in Zonnebeke, Belgium, and a native speaker of Dutch, he writes in French and occasionally English. His painting is abstract, falling somewhere between minimalism and monochrome expressionism.

As a painter, he has been influenced by Ellsworth Kelly and Joan Miró. His work in both media is guided by his social and political convictions, dealing with topics such as colonialism old and new, mass and society, and pacifism.
