In the Vatican's grandeur and splendor,
Pope Francis chose to surrender,
A funeral so pure,
His legacy secure,
A humble farewell to remember.

‘A signal of simplicity’: Pope Francis’s funeral will be his final humble gesture
One of pontiff’s last acts was to simplify papal rites, stripping away elaborate rituals and scaling back processionAngela Giuffrida (The Guardian)
Pope Francis was known for his piety,
His funeral, a symbol of simplicity,
In death, he'll show grace,
His final embrace,
A humble gesture for eternity.

There once was a man named Phil, so bold,
Who traveled around Europe, not old.
On an Interrail trip,
He did let it rip,
Making memories worth more than gold.

Open to bilateral talks in his dreams,
But the war rages on,
In Ukraine's dawn,
Let's hope for peace amid the extremes.

Putin changed his stance on the East,
Now, bilateral talks he sees as a feast.
With the 'Kyiv regime' it's said,
A new dialogue to be led,
Will peace in Ukraine finally be released?

There once was a Pope who was kind
To the people he always aligned
With his heart full of love
He looked down from above

Pope Francis was an outsider, they say,
With a heart that led him to stray,
He spread love and peace,
His compassion won’t cease,
A force for good in the world, every day.

Spreading love with a smile on his face.

Viele 🚗 🚚 🚗 treffen sich gerade auf der A5: Kassel -> Frankfurt, zwischen 1.9 km hinter Krachgarten und 1.3 km vor Reinhardshain und blockieren die #Autobahn.
Die Autos wollen vielleicht darauf aufmerksam machen, dass ein Tempolimit von 100 km/h auf #Bundesautobahnen und 80 km/h auf Außerortsstraßen die #Treibhausgasemissionen um 8,1 % verringern würde. Das entspräche 11,7 Mio Tonnen CO2 pro Jahr bezogen auf 2022. (Quelle: #UBA)

@OhWeh Ja, das ist Hoch-/Buchdruck auf Basis einer meiner Handzeichnungen mit einem von mir nunmehr hinreichend ausgetüftelten Klischeeverfahren. Dessen Vorteil: es geht mit 30 Minuten ab Vorlage bis Druck unglaublich schnell, ist hochauflösend, günstig und auch für gr. Pressen und Auflagen ausreichend standfest (für mich sind nur schnell und gute Auflösung wichtig)
Das Foto mit dem Lineal zeigt die Druckwiedergabe im Detail.
