Images Of A Legend
There is no
longer a God
in the hands of
the universe
when faith
it is a matter
of a select few
violence rooted
in days
children without
fathers
widowed wives
immolated
creatures
in the world
of the foul
reign of evil.
They are falling
boulders
on the edge of
the peninsula
purple the color
of the skies
dyed red is the
wind
vast unequal
fires
they flare up in
the earth
the miserable
remains of man
in ruins they
pour on the walls
like dull faces
they roam the
streets.
Images of a
legend
lived in the
desert of the world
voices that tell
the past
mysterious sign
of life
silently
with strides
they run
towards the
infinity of madness
that invisible
border
where mutes
reign
consciences and
noble hearts.

In The Name Of A God
How many crosses
in this world
they shed tears
orphaned
daughters
of violence and
wars
torn springs
deprived of
sacred life.
Violated blood
in the name of a
God
ignited in
fantasies
of violent men
fake revolution
linked to the
events
of politics and
crime.
Religions
Gods and Saints
peoples and
cultures
laws and freedom
vanish
in the pages
of the daily
news
immolated on the
altar
of democracy at
any cost.
How long
this heart
without course
will bend the
will
on the way
of the principle
of universal
love
around the table
of free will
in the realm of
a dream
where freedom is
sacred
and the people
of every God
he is brother
among brothers.

Who WE ARE?
Who we are
because we don't
see
with the eyes
of the soul
reality
and
indifference.
Yet
behind the wall
of extinguished
reason
we pray
with joined
hands
that God who
he has to help
our days.
Where
our love
where free
thought
he is exiled
in which cave
the consciences
they were locked
up.
Along the coasts
of life
vaguely every
man
staggering walks
around a temple
beyond which
the flesh
transfigures
in a thousand
words
and endless
poems.
