I think that, Elgin who stole the marbles was guide from a obsessive desire to posses the beauty of classic Greek creations. He spoiled one of the seven wonders of the ancient world, and he passed at the history as the most cruel vandal. You my dear friend have used your passion for writing and you gave us an article that touched our hearts. Support Marina’s petition means a lot for me as because I’m one of those that want to see the marbles turn back to the place that they belong. I’m congratulating with you and I wish you all the best with your activity.

It is made in the name of the cultural heritage of the world and with the voice of the mutilated monument itself, that cries out for its marbles to be returned. Crime without Punishment This is born from blight, its roots a blemish upon the empire. This callous white marble tear that after all these years cannot fall. O hallowed aeons that cannot compensate ghosts, the ceremony of dust calls out from the Aegean Sea. Headless busts and property unduly dispersed to the far corners of this world, maligned, but not forgotten by emperors or the realm of justice. By who's decree do we pillage and take what is not ours, as if it was an orphan. All of Greece trembles inside, its glorious heart fractured by such injustice.

Crime without Punishment

This is born from blight,
its roots a blemish upon the empire.

This callous white marble tear
that after all
these years cannot fall.

O hallowed aeons that cannot compensate ghosts, the ceremony of dust calls out from the Aegean Sea.

Headless busts and property unduly
dispersed to the far corners
of this world, maligned,

but not forgotten by emperors
or the realm of justice.

By who’s decree do we pillage
and take what is not ours,
as if it was an orphan.

All of Greece trembles inside,
its glorious heart fractured
by such injustice.

Kevin Harling.- Canada
