BANKSY sponsored Louise Michel Rescue boat | STREET ART UTOPIA


“It might seem incredible there is need for a homemade emergency vehicle in one of Europe’s busiest waterways, but there is. The migrant crisis means that European states are instructing their Coastguard not to answer distress calls from ‘non-Europeans’ leaving desperate people to drift helplessly at sea. To make matters worse authorities prevent other boats from providing assistance, arresting crews and impounding boats that do.
The Louise Michel is a former French Navy boat we’ve customised to perform search and rescue. She is as agile as she is pink. Measuring 30 meters in length and capable of over 28 knots, she was bought with proceeds from the sale of Banksy artwork – who then decorated her with a fire extinguisher. She is captained and crewed by a team of rescue professionals drawn from across Europe. She runs on a flat hierarchy and a vegan diet.” – https://mvlouisemichel.org

शायरी / Poetry – Kaushal Kishore

 

कुछ लोग लिखते हैं शायरी

दर्द और प्यार की भावनाओं को

व्यक्त करने के लिए,

जबकि कुछ लोग उन्हें पढ़ते हैं 

उन भावनाओं को भुलाने के लिए 

या फिर उन्हें याद करने के लिए…

🥀🥀🥀🥀🥀🥀

Some people craft verses 

to share their heart’s pain and love,

Some read to escape, 

like wings of a mourning dove…

Others read to reminisce, 

each line a memory’s glove,

In poetry’s embrace, 

emotions soar above…

🥀
