Prologue to the Poem of Creation


I sing the God Almighty’s Creation

Whereof were firstly born Adam and Eve

former seed of any human Nation

at the time they could only conceive

the joyfulness with no desperation

In the Eden still so far to receive

The challenge of that infernal snake

Who wanted to be a godlike fake!

 

I also sing about the brave men strays,

Straight descendents  from that chosen race,

who such in boldly and daring ways

Isr’eli people to holy surface

They led of Palestine. Hates, loves betray’ls

I don't omit, on fortune and disgrace:

those between God and men, tribes and  kingdoms;

and I sing laws, exiles and wars into my songs.

  

Arduous so much however it ‘s my part,

long and full of traps my composition,

That plenty of fear I feel into my heart,

if only I dare to think myself on action,

and tremble with my hand before I start

The Old and   the New Holy Narration!

My Fairy God, You Firmament’s Creator

Allow  me to become a keen narrator!

 

From Genesis’ to Apocalypse’s book

please drive my hand between rhymes and accents

to enable  jointly with my mind, to hook

the most significant, deep, true  sentiments

in order they can take a fairly look

of those seventy three, pious components!

If someone goes to Source for sweeter tasting

 all my efforts for sure I won’t be wasting!

Moses’s Speech

 

First Part

 

In the meantime there arose a new king

Over Egypt that knew not Joseph. And

He said to his people: “ Behold this thing:

The people of Israel in our land

Numerous and stronger are becoming

Than we; come let wisely oppress and bend

Them  before they become also expert

To move us war and  run away through desert.

 

But it happened that the heavy jobs,

which the Egyptians  submitted the Jewish

instead of  decreasing its values,

made more mordant and more anguish

to the eyes of the same oppressors,

regardless of consequences and of costs,

Pharao made a general  edict:

“Be each male child drowned in the river of Egypt.

Mose’s deeds 

 I

 

A tribute now I pay right away,

and it is that due to Father Moses,

when Egypt became scary and fray,

at the times of  Pharaon Ramses ,

when they increased  as it’s harder to say,

and the  Egyptians felt a risk because,

they  on arms strong in case of a war,

would have won and escaped furthermore!

 

And despite of  the very hard jobs,

which the Egyptians had obliged all of them,

instead to decrease their  own values,

became  more skill and dangerous men

at the eyes of the same oppressors;

of consequences and of costs regardless,

the Pharaon emanated this edict:

“Be every virile child of the Hebrews

[drowned in the river of Egypt.]

Descendants  of Adam and Eve 

 

Then Adam knew Eve and she conceived 

Cain. She said “Now I have got a man”. 

A second time was pregnant Eve, glad

To give Abel his birth. But while Cain 

Was  farmer,  shepherd was Abel instead!

The eldest his fruits  to  God more sane

Did give,  and Abel  best  from his flock

More pleasing God, made to  Cain a shock.

 

 

 

It goes on longing for real liberty 

which will arrive with Christ  Redemptor 

the trip of restless and strain  uncertainty 

of the unworthy human gene and traitor 

Whom will mislead wight great  iniquity, 

Off from right furrows the seeds of  honour

 Abel was murdered by his own brother 

Cain, who will be for it,  pun'shed rather.

 

It was up to Set and his discendants 

Enòs, Kenan, Iared, Matusalem 

before the ark sailed trough tempestous seas 

with Capitain Noè and best of them

Whom   God off   from big flood wanted to please

To resolve the everlasting problem 

that Evil in the mud was sinkly dead

and  for His glory God could raise instead. 

 

But  Noè’s father  has n’t to be confused 

With the homonym that ascends to Cain, 

to Whom  gave Ada, after conceveid

 Iùbal;  Zilla gives him  a son again,

Tubàlkain, father of those who’re used 

Working  iron and copper. Is not vain

To say that from Zilla each flute’s player 

Descends, as well as those who play cither!

Realized since then Adam and Eve to stay

 naked with shame, and they wore like a shield

fig leaves to be To protected since that day

Covering their bodies  in the bloom field!

“Where are you ? Why are you walking away

From me?” asked to Adam God, who’ll wield

Forever human‘s fate. Eve confirmed

that because of the snake eaten they had!

 

 

In fact the Holy  Lord said to the snake:

“Because of  what you ‘ve done,  cursed are you;

Above wild animals, and I will make

You eating the dust for all your life through

Upon your belly, unable to shake

Your arts! Your head’ll crash you the woman to

whom  hostile I will make you and her heel

One day you’ll try to injure for such appeal! 

 

He said to the woman: “I'll multiply

your pains during your pregnanciness

and forwards your husband I'll modify

 your instinct, but you'll be dominionless

 on him!” To man God said the soil by:

any means will give you food  unless

through  sweat on your face. That will be a must

‘cause you are dust and you’ll return to dust!

But the Creation was not yet complete

Still being missed the breath of the Animator

Who can transform into a giant a bit!

Waters from earth going up by Creator

To mist all over the ground were admit

So could mould the man God the Great Factor

and by that divine blow the man was made

but nevertheless, he still lonely stayed.

 

 

Insofar a day, while he was sleeping,

God took one of his ribs from his right side

And close up its place with flesh, according

Not to keep him alone, such a grac’ful glide

became a woman, companion cleaving:

On body and soul with man equal inside

and ‘t was a joy! But from that happiness

Adam had soon be wak’n on bitterness!

 

In truth, as I have already said,

it was the snake the deceiving actor,

who convinced Eve to be so mad

to eat the fruit that the Good Factor

had forbidden; and she convinced her lad

they would have become like a professor

of science and art of evil and good !

That fruit so became the damned food!

The World’s Creation

 

At the beginning God created the sky

And the earth, which was shapeless and desert

And darkness cover’d the abysses close by;

But on the waters, with divine, expert

Zeal, God established that obscurity

Had to be opened to the bright alert!

God, seeing that it was good, called Day the light.

And the darkness instead was named Night.

 

Then beneath the waters, the firmament

set God, and between them, b’low, the dry land

He also set, whither at same moment,

To any bud and tree He gave command

From seed to be produc’d for nourishment

Of any species, in ground, soil or sand!

After He had named sky, earth and sea

To following duty God had to begin.

 

Hereafter the lights in the sky He set

Doing the moon and the sun for night and day,


And other signs and stars in dose correct,

for making years and seasons going away,

For the Most High is much more than perfect

And furthermore of this I cannot say!

About this seventh stanza therefore

I will not tell you nothing anymore!

 

 

“Fly off all birds”- said God- “freely in the air

And splash about in to sea any fish;

Graze lambs, calves and livestock everywhere

In grassy lawns that will never languish;

Grow up any reptiles fair and unfair,

living beings either monstrous or polish!”

After the earth had all animals found

God said to them to multiply around.

 

 

And finally He said: - “ Let’s make now man

In our image and likeness, every

And each animal to lead on command!”

After doing that He rested quietly.

Henceforward, after six days, on the land

man, on the seventh, stays steady Godly,

being it consecrated for prairie and rest,

Both the last hours and also the first!

Somewhere, Sometimes - V

    

FITH SCENE
 (The King Gonario, as a ghost,  appears on stage and solemnly recite   the song of Akinta Qamar. It encloses the very meaning of the drama and will continue until the closing of the curtain).

  AKINTA QAMAR’S Song

Do not forget my sons
 Those ancient laws
That came long time ago from the sea
And of your mothers
Who rest under the grass!

Go, go, go
Go and love each others
Sons of the Earth
Where women
Are free to love anyone
And men
Do not want to master them!


The waters of the sources
Of the Earth
Have done a long march
Through the subterranean veins:
the water itself it’s only
the visible part.
The same thing happens with the men
 When they are born:
they are only the visible part
which we can see
of our ancestors!

 Do not forget my sons
 Those ancient laws
That came long time ago from the sea
And of your mothers
Who rest under the grass!


Sixth Scene
All the People celebrate the victory of love over the hate with the dance of the Last Moon!


The End

Somewhere, Sometimes - III


Third scene

RUMISU’s Song

In the Gonare’s throne
Dead twenty years ago
Took seat Itzocare
Instead of my mother

But now the truth
Has to come up
For I’m grow up
And there is now whom is
going to advice me!

People of Nure
I’m going to claim
The scepter belonged
To my father Gonario

And who doesn’t agree
Must know that even up there
As we have heard just now from Bithia
The Moon is not waiting anymore.

 (The two cousins will fight for a few minutes, according to pre-established movements of fighting "Istrumpas (a sort of closer, harder wrestling)". Each phase of the fight will be accompanied by the cries of those present   forming  two factions: one for Damasu, the other in favour of Rumisu. The  struggle ends with Rumisu who sits on the Damasu’s body . As a sign of victory Rumisu shall lift the hands up while still sits on the opponent defeated. The people and all those present, except for close allies of Itzoccar and Anù, will applaud the new King Rumisu!)

Voices  from the crowd
-         Long life for Rumisu!

Voices  from the soldiers
-         Our Gods save  Gonario’s Son!!!
-         


Other  voices
-         Long life for the king of  Nure!

Rumisu (will silence all with a nod of autocracy and hand will lie to her uncle Itzoccar, ripping his stick of command and his mantle; will wear the cloak and then by challenging the stick between new cheers. Rumisu will quiet  all as above )


-         Might the peace be back at Nure for ever. Our command will be based on the ancient laws of our fathers!

Aristea (occupying the centre of the scene)


-         No, Rumisu! Just for those ancient laws I’m in love with Iolao! (Iolao joins Aristea ). I’m not in love with you, nor I love Damasu. Women are not presents to be gained by means of wars like mantels or scepters. Women are  preys of  love.!!!!!!

Samson's Deeds - II




 Samson showed  very soon  his strongness
  fighting against the  Philistines
who at that time were plenty of guiltyness,
for a forty year long cruelty of crimes
to those tied with him through  Jewishness
never I had so strong a friend of mines;
whith naked hands he defeated a lion,
his strenght alone equalled  a batallion!!!

The Poem of Creation

 
Chapter 6
Where we narrate last deeds  of King David,  of Solomon and of his greatness;
From the  two books of the Kings and the two books of the Chronicles.

I

Now is David king feeling so cold 

To marry with a virgin feature; 

but with her is not so strong and bold,

although she’s warm and nice by nature

5. since a man who reaches to be old, 

behaves  like a celestial creature, 

Reaching the peak of brightness, 

Fading away  ‘till  nothingness.
