WARSAW: THE BURDEN OF OLD MEN

While walking in the streets in the old city of Warsawa I noticed some decorations on one of the buildings: The everlasting burden of some old but strong men. They need strong shoulders. No holidays for the men. My comments are:Don't give up, don't leave the house, keep calm, well done work , no pay so far ,and above all: Ageing is no crime. We need you all, old and young, to make the society working.But who will replace these old men who might ask for a chance? Take care.I recall also a painting made in 1975. The painting was made by Yvonne Claesson. The writing on the painting was a threat to all men worldwide except the old men in Warsaw: We leave now!But they decided to stay for some more years.
