The drift of Civilization

(In the death of the poet Edoardo Sanguineti)

 

The green wood crashed

From the third floor down

while Edward

like dry wood

was left

two hours

waiting

without any help;

meanwhile Televisions,  radios,

newspapers, networks,

were babbling of heroes,

other wood green

sent to die

by pompous senators

Pharisees of the third millennium

in the name of a homeland

with no more fathers!

What kind of place

has become this Country

Where poets live and die

In the utter indifference

And the bitches

With their pimps

make the news

And by the new scribes

They enjoy wide coverage

In a frenzy of amps

Which seem to lead adrift

our civilization?
