The Cosmos' Conquerors

https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B07H44DYF7 

 Like scissors cut from the head the hair

That’s the way we were born in  the Cosmos.

Wandering atoms,

molecules of discard,

rottenness of the universe,

ephemeral chemical structures,

extreme outskirts of living beings,

first in the nothingness of   perishable,

first among the oblivion,

sick walk-ons star like,

beard of  planets,

transitory living form

which has not still  right understood

its  correct value  in the complex alchemy

of the world.

Pain and pleasure

What else are you

But  not two opposite chemical transformations?

Law and Ethic, brakes of  fear?

Power, fallacious safety’s  illusion?

I do  believe that if tomorrow we disappeared,

Even exploding around with all our folly

the Cosmos would not however  realized

we are not anymore !

Four men searching for truth

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

since 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 passing-bys:

"Please, mind the truth!"

L'orgoglio di essere subito dietro ai Grandi

La  Classifica dei poeti più letti di Amazon mi pone al 118.mo posto. Sembra poco, ma se davanti a te, tra i primi Cento  ci sono Omero, Dante, Whitman, Baudelaire, Apuleio, Catullo, Ovidio, Pavese, Leopardi e altri grandi dell'Olimpo poetico universale, allora non è poco.
