Umami

Even the way the food is prepared
became the object of war propaganda
since persuasion is needed
To wage wars

Umami, however, arises
not out of enmity

Umami is created
out of happiness

Happiness
that begins in childhood
if not hunger
threatens life

Happiness
It all started
When I was with my grandma
who allowed to cook

Happiness
that unfolded
with travel
to many countries

in the face of war
Umami is now threatened
for billions
of people

the extinction
of humanity seems to be
possible for the first time

the horrors of war
are no longer just pictures
