The life comes from the sea

From the sea comes every life 

And from the sea came the ancient fathers of Sardinia;

From the sea they did get their food

Before they discovered

Our rich, great land of Sardinia!

From the sea came the roman enemies

Conquerors, destroyers

And after them

Other avid merchants

Came to exploit, to kill.

But I still hope

That soon this same sea

Which is named after us

Might define again

The borders of our own land

And Sardinian people

Might take the sceptre of command

That the fate and the story

Has assigned to them

And just to them

The Best rock guitar player of any time

Jimi Hendrix, The rock  legend, has been voted the best guitarrist never playng on stage.
As matter of fact he was my favourite, though I remember I.ve dreamed with Jimmy Page (third place), Eric Clapton (second place), David Gilmour (strangely not included in the top ten) and some more.
I remember the Jimi Hendrix double track "Eletric Ladyland": a real masterpiece on rock music history.
It was my first track in tthe early seventies, that I swapted with a boring romantic italian compilation.
What a shame he died at 27. Who knows how many other emotions he could have granted to rock fans all over the world?

If I

If I were a newspaper

I would publish

just in the front page

all in capital letters

each and every day

"The 10% of people own the 90% of reachness";

If I were a television

I would show

just at any news edition

how the 1% of people

are impoverishing

and paupering

the 99% left!

If I were an opinion maker

I would say the people

that the Earth 

belongs to all the men

while a few of them

have risen walls and banners

to grab goods and money;

If I were what I am

I would say

as I do say

that now the time has come

to make justice and equity

and start giving to each man

what he deserves

what God has done

for every one.

Let them celebrate

Let them celebrate

the end of your world,

they want to celebrate:

the american dream is over;

they are celebrating 

money growing over nothing;

let them celebrate

discovering your rootless brushes;

they need to celebrate

the burial ceremony

of criminal capitalism;

they 'got celebrate

the funeral

of greed octopus

which scrounges their people!

Let them celebrate

the dawn of new distribution

of richness of earth!

Let them celebrate

the end of your world.
