Four men in search of the truth
There were four
men
searching for
truth
They all knew
that sixteen
hundred years before
Someone was asked
by a washing
hands' man
to say what was
the truth
One of them
is on the tower of
Pisa
which is still
bending
since then
'cause he refused
to declare the
earth is flat
to the clergy men
to the rappers of
truth
Several miles away
another one
is convicted
by other holders
of false truth
he has lost his
wife
he's lost his
goods
he's lost his
freedom
and he's Lost
Paradise
And Torquato
has been serving
for seven years
through
in a madhouse
for his poetry was
sure
so full of truth
The fourth man
lies
straight and tall
in the middle of a
square
where his
unfortunate harsh
took the place of
the flowers
He seems to warn
the passings-by:
"Please, mind
the truth!"
