FRANCO CARTA

 



What Is Freedom?

 

From the bulb the leaves

in a twisted way

they express cravings

to leave the port.

 

The lace that tightens

it's not a chain

he paints on the face

all her pain.

 

She doesn't hear that sound,

that bell,

that the alarm gives in vain,

freedom is that.

On freedom

 

I'd rather be hated by everyone

and have my own free will,

than to be loved like a bird

locked in a cage with the key.

Freedom

 

Who would have thought

that i would pay the price

of the letter of enfranchisement, myself?

Freedom,

in which spaces of this earth

do you find yourself?

Not all territories

are free of restrictions

for this body i inhabit.

Be the price of what has passed,

be the amazement,

stigma and prejudice

that flow through the eyes.

Freedom,

in which spaces of this earth

do you find yourself?

Even if it is inevitable to be a slave to progress

right in the midst of this new old society

of Freedom
