REXPUBLICA

Andrei Gabriel Dumitrescu

Calling upon the essential elements of existence, this artistic manifesto is a discovery of the sacred bonds that unite all living beings. Water, the symbol of purity and the flow of life, becomes the thread that keeps alive the memory of our shared origins—birth itself. Nature opens its arms as a universal altar, enveloping us in divine harmony, while God, as the ultimate source of inspiration and purpose, illuminates our journey.

Family and love are the heart of this manifesto—the tender and profound expression of human connection. They teach us how to give greater meaning to our goals and how to build a bridge toward the future. Music and art, the voices of our soul, become the language through which we celebrate beauty, ephemerality, and immortality. This manifesto is a call to reflection, unity, and creation.

It is a story written with passion, love, and faith, a tribute to life in all its splendor.

WATER

Water, the essence of life. Water is everywhere, itʼs there when we are born, itʼs there in nature. We often use it to hydrate, to take shows, to cook and to clean. As we venture into the unknown, we always carry water with us. Water is vital to our existence, it keeps us alive, it makes us better, water is clear. We drink it, we get it out of our body once it has served its purpose, water is what keeps us going during bad days, no matter in what form we like to consume it. Tea, coffee, soda, wine, water combined with the vines, with the coffee beans, with sugar, mixed together to create a nice beverage for us to enjoy and feel happiness. In nature, animals need water to survive. Fish, reptiles, mammals, birds, all of them need water to survive and keep going, water is beautiful. Water gives me the strength I need to keep going, it helps us, keeps us working, keeps us writing, keeps us painting, as we create beautiful art, as beautiful works of great artists of the past were created. Forever in need of it, we are dependent on water, we canʼt live too long without it, itʼs a refreshing feeling when water hits our lips, our body, itʼs reinvigorating. As water pours down on our body, we start feeling more calm and relaxed, all the problems feel so distant as water gives us comfort. Another reason to be alive is knowing that after a long day, water can make it easier for us, the stress relief we all crave, when it feels like the world is against us. The feeling of being in the river, as your feet feel wet, the beauty of the water and the way it connects all together, itʼs a cozy feeling. No matter how bad it gets, always drink water and stay hydrated, water is beauty, water is love, water is life, water is eternal.

BIRTH

Birth, the miracle of life, the beginning of a son or a daughter, a sister or a brother, a future father or a future mother, the start of a family. Birth, the new life of a cub, a pup, so many beautiful pets, new souls on earth, a happy introduction, as we are met but love ones, slowly getting to know them, happily Birth, Life, the chills we feel, the reason we wanna be better, provide for the new small people, care for them, hug them, love them, worm embrace reflex, kicks, waiting for the day they get out, new angels arriving on earth, sweet babies, mothers tears drop of happiness, as a sweet child is born, the holy grace. Birth, love, sweetness, a passionate flame, winterʼs frost, the feelings as a child is born, the fear, happiness, as the special one comes, a gentle, authentic feel. Birth, beauty, a reason to live, to be hopeful for the future, we love them, we care for them, they are our starts, our pride, a reflexion of ourselves, an angelic tear. Birth is a reason to be alive, the hope for the future, we do our best to grow with them, to offer them the best life, protect them with lies, show them love, theyʼre extraordinary. Birth, beauty, softness, gentle touch, oh small one, we love you, hug you, cherish you forever, your birth was a divine blessing, little one, wither scary, Saint Mary, mythical fairy.

FAMILY

From the day we are born, till the day we pass
They are here when we struggle, when we are happy
They are there when we make our first steps to class
They help us, care for us, some follow us like a puppy

When everything hurts they hug us, help us
They made us, build us, Ever since we got here
We are often a mirror of our family, hold us, tell us
Make us feel better, and for us they will drop a tear

Often we dismiss them, but they will always care
Never feel fear when I am around my family
Always ready to protect us, the Mother bear
Father bear, healthy care, rarely scared, I see them, happily

If I get in trouble I know I call them, hugʼem
Always going to be there for you when one will leave you
They watch you grow up, glow up, sometimes bugʼem
Sometimes we do stupid, and they always forgive us

Dear mother I love when you care for me when I feel sick
Dear father I love you for the house you built brick by brick
Dear brother, thank you for always sharing the same heartbeat
Dear sister you are the reason I am not a prick

Family, the first thing we see when we open our eyes
The last thing we think about as we leave this world
Even if we struggle, we do it together, either here or in the skies
Will never be able to express just in words

The way family shows us care and love
Never gonna give up on us, cherish this memories
ʼCus they will not be back, as we all eventually travel above
And even if they are no longer here we can still feel their energies

Family is love, care, beauty, music to my soul
As we cherish them forever, supporting on our goals
We share passions, colours, music, appealing art
A beautiful feeling of love, youʼll are living in my heart

We love our family, and we should always appreciate
Till the day we close our eyes, theyʼll wait for us at heavenʼs gate
Our ancestors, we love youʼll, miss youʼll, miss all the greats
We are one, united by blood, sharing faiths, lovely plates

As I look at the sky I thank youʼll for watching over me
Thanks to my family, either here or overseas
We care, we love, we share, we thank for, we adore
We sit, we leap, we sing, we write, we dance, weʼre core

Ever more, never less from my lovely bloodline
I love you all till my hourglass is full
As long as I breathe and have you all Iʼm hopeful
Love our families till the day we gonna die

LOVE

What is love? A gentle kiss as we go to sleep
A bliss, desire, the beauty we cherish and keep
A feeling of sort, a song we feel in our hearts
A soft kiss, gentle touch, being together in the dark
A spark that we feel the first time we see or feel
A thrilling race, affection, love is something to behold still
Strong as steel, beautiful eyes, angelic voice, cute face
Gentle soul, puppy eyes, the right choice, that one ace
Feeling loved is what keeps as going, it empowers us
The strength to move forward, they watch over us
We live, we feel, we love, the passion of a song
We dream, we kiss, we solve, such passion canʼt be wrong
Love is a muse, the reason we write or paint
Love can be a loss, a wake-up call, leaving us in pain
But true love is hard to find, but it does exist
In music, dance and poetry, it has a twist
Loves comes with tragedy, itʼs not a checklist
A risk we take when we love, opened in the midst
Our hearts we share, we care, we sit together
We lust, we fight, we fix, dreaming forever
Love is not perfect, love is war, love is forgiveness
Passion, eternal flame, weʼre imperfect, we give less
We give more, we take, we split, through good or bad
In sickness and healthy, we work, we hope, happy or sad
Mad or tired, we are there, we support, we thrive
We speak, we drive, we listen, weʼre two bees in a hive
Working together to make life better, to prosper
We feel, we care, even ghosts know love, like Casper
Love is for all, and we all love, we adore
Safe in their arms, they care for us, our hearts we pour
For those we love, we fight, we protect
We are there for them, we love, we defend
Love gives as a reason to be alive on Earth
To hope, to fight, to strive, we flirt
From birth, till we take our last breath
We love, we joy, we laugh, through hardship and regret
We love till death do as apart, and after we ascend
We accept the gift of love, we cherish the time spend
Beautiful memories, lovely nights, peaceful mind
Although love is blind, on rainy days we often find
A soulmate to be ours for eternity
Iʼll keep you in my heart and poetry
Love is pain, love is joy, a reason to be alive for sure
A fright, a fight, a dance, a chance to love once more

NATURE

The beauty of nature, the birds and the bees
The leafs and the trees, the soil, natures kiss
Natureʼs grasp, the beauty of the land, the sea, the forest
Wild flame, winterʼs chill, flies, frogs, coldest
Hottest, reptiles, birds, yellow stones
Icing, glacier, white snow, winter tones
Beautiful summer, warmer, heat, fragile soil
A dream coil, animals living, breathing, display of spoil
The nature gives, the nature takes, a symphony
Nature makes music, art, pleasure when bees make honey
Sing for me, a simple design, wolves and bears
Dogs and cats, part of natures grasp, multiple layers
Claws and hairs, small or big, the nature cares
As some walk lonely, some walk in group or pairs
A prayer, for majestic nature, a moose, a deer
It rains, it pours, its snows, itʼs danger, itʼs fear
A feel of hope when we are closer to natures beauty
Birds chirping, wolves howl, the plans, tasty, fruity
Nature gives, we take, pears, apples, strawberries
Pineapples, bananas, oranges, blueberries
Natures offers all, a reason to exist, gentle hugs
Sweet embrace of the forest, the lights, colourful bugs
The night, the stars, creatures of wander
In swamps, mountains, ice lands, we ponder
We admire the beauty of nature, colourful pictures
Aurora Borealis, a magical spell, mythical creatures
The northern lights shine bright in frighten sky
On mountains heights, the frost, the chill, a soft cry
A shy friend with gentle eyes by the lake, one last goodbye
As they go away in to nature, hard to say where or why
But nature provides on lands and in the oceans
Fish, sharks, dolphins, water fool of emotions
The sky, the land and the deep, all made my Terra
Or Gaia, we thank you for the land give in this new era
Mother of Earth, truly a reason to be alive and well
ʼCus when Iʼm in nature, Iʼm safe, Iʼm free, Iʼm under a spell

GOD

Dear God, are you still listening?
I’ve going through my ups and downs recently
I’ve been looking for a way, I’ve been reasoning
With my self for a while, I can’t get past this tragedy
I pray to you as I lay alone, an awful tone I hear
I’m here but why? What does it mean, God please answer
I’ve been begging, I’ve been waiting, for a chance to appear
Sometimes it’s unfair and I can’t get pass her
I’ve been gazing at the starts all alone countless nights
The fright inside ignites, as tears drop, I’m a manly mess
But the flame burns brighter, my mind flies, on new heights
Tears drop down, as I feel a rush, an emptiness
Are you there God? You are the reason I am still alive
You are the reason I keep going, keep fightin’
But I’ve struggled lately, I’m angry, I’m lost, I survive
Day by day, please give a sign, I’m hiding, let the light in
I just wanna be ok, I just want to stop the pain
You’re the reason I still have a lot to gain
Flame blazes, in my heart is winter, I think of
Cold December, spore of deadly wisdom, a rip of
Angel fighting for my soul, are you there? Am I worthy?
Sleepless nights, soul’s frozen, I’ve been hurtin’
Hurts inside, hurts outside, but I pray to You for guidance
I see the light, while in the tunnel, I wait for tomorrow
The pain and sorrow, hold me down, a guy’s dance
Beauty of a tragedy, a paint of wrong morals
Forgive me Father, cus’ I have sinned
Stanck of another life, painful as it might, I’m still your son
Start aligned, the night is long Father, I’m pinned
Hateful obsession, the good and the bad, oh brightful sun
Where is the shine, the night is long, it’s just me and you God
The reason I exist, the reason I struggle, the reason I thrive
I prosper, it’s just me and you we’ve got
Time I am sure, I hope, It has been a long drive
But you are always there by my side
No mater the rain, I feel your presence
Could let the tide take me, the days I cried
But I am your gift, to this world a present
Slide away, I lied, I am not ok, I’ve let my ego and pride
take over me, I’ve tried, I know it’s wrong, I’m eyed
By them evils and I, beg of you, give me the strength to ride
One more time, You are the reason I am still alive, I glide
Away, I go in to the night, passion burn in my soul
Beautiful pain, a fright, a chill down my spine, I’m not alone
I’ve grown, I’m happy and I am sad
I’m lucky and I’m bad, I’m crying, I’m not mad
I’m angry but I’m good, I love and I hate
I write and I paint, I’m glad you’re my friend
As I put the pen down I look one more time
At your delightful sky, wait me at heaven’s gate
Chastity, kindness, temperance, diligence
Charity, humility, patience
I practice and I adore, God is love, God is forgiveness
As I close the door, God is pure, God is fulfillingness
Through tragedy and pain, joy and love, You are the reason I want to live
Good or bad, as in heaven so on earth, a reason for existence you give

MUSIC

Music is beautiful, it can inspire us, help us, give us comfort when we are having bad days. We often think of music as a way to escape, I want to forget about our problems for a while. We can hear music anywhere, when we are in a mall, when we are driving our cars, when we are at a party. Music is a way for a lot of us to be more hopeful, to feel like we are going to be better when everything around us seems bad. When we have a bad day music has the power to give us hope, to make us feel slightly better even if we had a terrible day. Music is one of the best reason to be alive, it can help you get over a break-up, and has the power to slowly heal your soul. It has the power to bring people together, often we make friends based of the music we have in common with them. Itʼs a peaceful place, finding comfort in the melody or finding the lyrics relatable. We love music and the beautiful memories we can make with it, and we often can associate a music or an album with period of our life. Music has the power to make us better, help us grow and evolve, and when we need it music is always there for us. It is a beautiful feeling being able to listen to music, as we cook or do an activity, it can give us the energy we need. A long time ago music saved me, and it became a very important part of my life ever since, a lot of us have better life thanks to music and the power it has over us. Through pain and struggle we might be going daily, but music is always there to help, and when we are feeling happiness or joy it can amplify the feeling. Music is sad, music is love, music can be anything we need, music is the reason some of us want to live, the reason to keep going.

ART

Art, the beauty of a painting, the feel of a song
A lovely dance, a sweet poem, either short or long
Art is beautiful, the emotion, the rush, the thrill
The thought, devotion, beauty of the brush, itʼs so real
Surreal art is often not, but inspired by tragedy
Suddenly we are transported in a comedy
Or a love story, short lore, poetry of sadness glory
Peaceful in the morning, angry when I struggle, felt unholy
Hopeful that the art will help me fly, help me find peace
As a piece of my heart is left on the page, a soft kiss
Tormented souls shine brighter, slowly encounter
Far from high realms, beautiful cage, a lonely hunter
A dream of mine, divine sky, flame that corrects
Collecting dust, A frost of sorts, the way the heart reacts
The feel, The rush, I blush as you write about us
Colourful portrait of us, abstract, I’ve got us
Put the brush down, let’s sing, think of future
Beautiful picture, a slow dance before the rupture
The sound of violins, paint drips down your face
Tears drop, hold me close, music to my ears, life’s a race
But live it at your own pace, it takes time
Do your best, sweet line of text, holy rhyme
The beauty and the beast, the colour, the perfume
Dry paint, admire the cold, dark room
A flower, it blooms, art starts from the womb
Parents made art, till the day they cry at your tomb
A pattern of strange thoughts, raindrops, my window pane
The windʼs in vain, a pale horse, scorched earth, lonely pain
Lost in my art like Dorian Gray, healing broken souls
Higher goals, tango in a red room, imagination pours
Do Ryan, rays of sunshine, yellow and blue
Art Is the reason I live, it keeps me whole like glue
Pale moon, dark sky, the past pastels provided
Softly play piano, howl at the moon, worldʼs collide
Angels sing, demons paint, harmony at the holy tree
Art is gentle, tender beauty, 3D, you and me
Art and artist, peach tea, sweet flavour, soft craft
Often rage on paper, sadness and anger, lifeʼs draft
Joy and happiness, lust or love, fear and courage
Angelic voice of a soft human, caged from a young age
Art offers escape, offers hope, sweet dreams
Lovely genes, kind and gentle, different teams
But yet united by art, symphony of the broken heart
Lost in the dark, found by music, play my part
Built an ark, give and take, till the day we rest
We love art, paintings of greats, culture of the east
Western beauty, Lovecraft, Shakespeare, Van Gogh
All that came and left, transform the art form
We are art, a reason to be alive, to fight
A flight, as we make art, looking at the crimson sky

GOALS

Our goals, our passions, our dreams
Reason to fight, to live, to love, explore realms
Work, Chill, evolve, change, endure, improve skills
Thrilling experience, beautiful passage, divine road, power wills
Passion as we paint, dance, sing, write, work, cooks
Delightful dreams desire, despite devilish dark books
We work wonders, wishing wealthy wills, whispers wallows
Strange sounds swallow, serenade songs of savagery, soul fallows
Finding fragile fragments, falling feathers from figures
Angels asking us, arrows aiming the abyss, ancient igloos
Glory of God, gathers given gifts, grateful goals, giantʼs glass
Perfume paints plastic pastels, painʼs pitches perfectionʼs past
Butterflies battle beautifully, building basic beds or brass
Branches been built, basks, blossoms, blissful blast
As our goals give as hope for the future, we share
We talk, work together to find peace and meaning, we care
As time passes, we grow, we get closer to our dreams deeds
Often wondering what we want, we grow, glow, feed our needs
Life leads laughing, lower levels, reacts, redeemed reads
We are willing to write, to watch restless, peaceful pace, slowly speeds
Speaking sadly sounds of sulphur, spikes spies spirals, swords shatter
Our goals keep us going, gunning gladly, faster and smarter
We are what we build, sometimes struggling, simply splashing
Singing sweet stories, softly showing signs sadly crushing
Rising rhymes from ruins, returning to reason, from failure we rise
As a phoenix rises from ashes, alloy alter arrives to arise
Altar of ancients, Good and evil, we battle for our rights
Our rights to dream of our goals, and we focus on achieving heights
Blood and sweat, working hard for fulfilling futures
Creating corners, coldest crafts, contained creatures
Casting spells, beautiful life, a reason to exist
Tensed testing tracks, tragedy turns in to triumph, tricky twist
We are our goals, fantasy fuelled, frighten feasting
Existing in eternal enthusiasm, beautifully, best thing
Our goals give us a reason to be alive on earth
Through good and bad, to live, to learn, to earn whatʼs worth
The world is a beautiful place to fallow our passion
Our goals, whether is culinary, artistic, science or fashion
Always fallow what you love, grow, learn and experiment
Life is beautiful, gentle, goals keep us in our element
As we slowly grow we find out reason to be alive
The goals we set, helping us live great and meaningful lives
