History of Moses

 

A tribute now I pay right away,

and it is due to the warlord  Moses,

when Egyptians  began to scary and fray,

at the times of  great pharaoh  Ramses,

seeing the Jews increasing day by day

felt the risk that the raising forces

could push  them on arms and in case of war,

they would  won and escape furthermore!

 

And despite of  the very hard duties,

which  Egyptians had obliged all of them,

instead to decrease  on numbers and values,

made more skill and more dangerous men

at the eyes of the same torturers,

consequently  the Pharaoh then

for any newborn male made an edict

 to be 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, what made to  Cain a shock.

 

 

It goes on longing for real liberty 

which will arrive with Christ  Redeemer 

the trip of restless and strain  uncertainty 

of the unworthy human gene and traitor 

Whom will mislead with great  iniquity, 

Off from right furrows the seeds of  honor

 Abel was murdered by his own brother 

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

 

 

It was up to Set and his descendents 

Enòs, Kenan, Iared, Matusalem 

before the ark sailed through tempestuous seas 

with Capitan 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 sinking dead

and  for His glory Good could raise instead. 

 

But  Noè’s father  hasn’t to be confused 

With the homonym that ascends to Cain, 

to Whom  gave Ada, after conceived

 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!

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 in to the  sea any kind of 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 God said: - “ Let’s make  the 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

men, on the seventh, stay steady Godly,

being it consecrated for prairie and rest,

Both the last hours and also the first!

 

 

But the Creation was not yet complete

Still being missed the breath of the Animator

Who into a giant can transform 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

though lonely however, he sadly stayed.

 

 

Insofar a day, as he was sleeping,

took God one rib of his from his right side

And closing 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 cheating actor,

who convinced Eve to be so mad

to eat the fruit that  God The Factor

had forbidden; and she convinced her lad

they would become like a professor

of science and art of evil and good !

That fruit so has to ‘came the damned food!

 

 

Realized since then Adam and Eve to stay

 Shamefully nude, and wearing like a shield

leaves of fig tree they keep on since that day

protecting their nudity 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. So 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 childbearingness

and forwards your husband I'll modify

 your instinct, but dominion less

 you’ll be over him!” To man God said badly:

you won’t draw any food from soil unless

in the  sweat of your face. That will be a must

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

 

 

And since then the path is not allowed

On direction forward the tree of the life,

And God at the end of the garden placed

The flaming Cherub with the big knife

Worried that man would have the fruit tasted

Of life’s tree to become eternal stuff!

That’s why God sent Adam and Eve away

from the Eden as the holy Books say.

Now I know what’s love

 

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


Now I know what is love

Not the sudden passion

that turns off soon

and then rises again 

Not even your eyes

some sincere

But not eternal

Not your vain, fallacious promises

But the Word that never betrays

It's true love!

Alone thinking of Elem

 

 

Don’t pass by on my street

‘cause I could think

She’s coming to me

 

Don’t knock at my door

‘cause I might think

She comes for asking love

 

Don’t call for me anytime

don’t look for me anywhere

don’t ask for me to anyone

 

Just leave me alone

thinking of her.

Songs for Elem


Ain’t that love?

My love was desperation
Because around me
It was all emptiness,
And I just needed 
A  heart beating for me
To fill my longing to love!

But  is it love?

If our  fate
has brought us here together
Oh Elem
And I have seen on you
The end of  loneliness
When  counting down
the minutes between us
And if  I pained   leaving
rejoiced coinciding
staring at any people
Searching of you
And if I  winced up 
At any resembling  shadow
And you were become a master
of my any single dream
 devoured by anxiety  
and I didn’t feel  hunger nor thirst

And every single thought, 
Every single word,
Every single thing
Every single person
were you

Isn’t that love?

The long man's trip on the way of knowledge


 
 

Since long time past manhood has wondered about the most inner significance of our presence on the earth.

I imagine our primitives ancestors, still wrapped in their beast’s furs, asking themselves the meaning of the stars in  the sky, some brighter , some farer, some fading away, like falling down; or  they might be thinking why the rising and the setting down of the sun, the pouring rain, the flashing of the lightening, preceding the boasting thunder; and the mystery of flying , the fascination of dreams, the secrets in the silence, the magic of a new life coming out from feminine bodies.

They started worshipping the sun, the waters, the eagle, or the great mother because of these unanswered questions. May be the first spark of this craving of knowledge has started around the fire, old men telling stories to be remembered by the young of the tribe.

The quintessence of hundred thousand years of this human research can be found now in the great religious books of humanity: the Indian Vedas and Upanishads; the Tibetan Book of Death; the Wisdom Books of the Holy Bible; or even in the mysterious books of esotericism.

You might believe or not believe in God (I personally do); and we can discuss for thousands of years  Which One is the Only God (but I know there is only One God, anyway); some can call God the Cosmic Essence of the Universe and some others can crush the Unity of God in to a Pantheon of Gods (like ancient roman and Greek did and like Indians still do); you can even keep on worshipping idles and totems (as matter of fact money and lust are not  but the modern gods of contemporary times); but if have spent your life without searching a reason to be born, then your life has passed you by uselessly.

Through  centuries and millennia men have even abused of the power of knowledge, misusing magic formulas for cheating poor people, frightening them with the shadows of God (God Himself cannot scare anyone, because He can only love); the Books themselves were instruments of power: those capable to read them on them the sacred truths could exercise a great power on those ignoring the meaning of the signs traced on their lines.

This special issue of Arspoeticamagazine deals with the matter of knowledge in the beginning of the seventeenth century.

 Angelo Ruggeri shows in a selection of works, how Milton, Giordano Bruno, Galileo Galilei, Torquato Tasso and other great minds of this century, have handle and dealt with such a sensitive subject and  why the established power counteracted their thoughts.

In the same century, but in the last part of it,  I set my novel “Four voices, only one story”, where four main writers and their friends of the Academia of Lamole, in Tuscany, are compelled to hide away from Holy Inquisition because they have decided to translate in to vulgar language the Sacred Scripture against the 1596 Pope Clemente VII’s Decree, who wanted the Holy Bible still to be published only in Latin ancient language (incomprehensible to most  people).

Still remains a great question: up to where can manhood  push his thirst of knowledge? Is it right to go beyond anyway? Is it correct to restraint the longing of manhood to break all the frontiers of knowledge? And who is titled to check scientist, poets and all the men who feel free to research the truth anyway and anywhere? Such questions are still of topical actuality and is not in the intentions of our magazine to dare to give any answers to them. I can personally only say that when I was much younger than today, my answer would be simply aimed to deny any chance of control or censorship.

But now I’m not so sure anymore.

How to Create a Look Book to Avoid Wardrobe Wars




A ‘Look Book’ is a 3-ring binder that contains pictures of outfits.  Not just any outfits though, pre-approved school outfits for your kids.  And these outfits aren’t ones that you need to buy or that you aspire to buy, but ones that can be made out of the clothes that are already in your kids closet.  Going through this process may help you figure out some holes in your kids’ wardrobe, but the idea is to create multiple looks using the clothes you already own.  The kids will then be able to go to the book and find an outfit they want to wear that day and pick out the pieces and put it on.  No more, “I don’t know what to wear!”  Or the dreaded, “I have nothing to wear!”
To get started you will need to go through all of your child’s clothes and pull out everything that doesn’t fit.  Pack these away if they are too large or donate them if they are too small.  Only things that fit should be in the closet.
Next, put all of the dresses together (for a girl), all of the bottoms together and all of the tops together.
Now get ready to shoot some pictures.  Take a white sheet and lay it on the bed.  This is going to be the back drop for all of the outfits.  Set up your camera on a tripod if you have one so that you can just go back and snap a picture and move on to the next outfit.  If you don’t have a tripod, no worries, just have your camera sitting nearby to use.
Start with the dresses because those are easy.  Lay a dress on the bed; pick out appropriate shoes to go with the dress.  Are there accessories that go with the dress?  Lay any necklaces, earrings, scarves, belts or hats down near the dress.  Snap the picture.
After all of the dresses are completed you can move on to the separates.  Pick out a bottom, be it pants, shorts or skirt and lay it on the bed.  Now look in the closet and pull out all of the tops that will go with that bottom.  One at a time lay the tops on the bed with the bottom, add any accessories and snap a picture.  Now you can see that many things will go with a black skirt, but if it’s a ruffled skirt make sure to only pair unruffled tops with it.  Sometimes the accessories won’t need to change and you can just change the top and take another picture.  Continue going through the entire wardrobe like this.
Now you will need to print or have photos made of all of the outfits.
Gather together a 3-ring binder, some subject dividers with 3-ring holes and blank paper or cardstock with 3-ring holes.
Create different categories for the outfits.  These will be up to you, but here are some ideas to get your started, play clothes, school clothes, church clothes and dress clothes.
Go through the pictures and put them in piles according to the categories you just created.  Count how many outfits you have for each category and insert that many blank pages into the binder behind its divider.
Finally, use some double sided tape to adhere the photos to the individual sheets.  Write any notes on the page, if your child can read, telling them any extra information they might need.  Like, make sure you wear white underwear with these white pants.
If your child is fussy about what she wears to bed then create a pajama category so that she knows what tops go with what bottoms.
These categories can change seasonally so you may want to box up the out of season clothes so that there is no confusion.
Jeans are a different story and one that you can handle a couple of different ways.  Jeans can really go with almost any top so that would be a lot of pictures to take.  It might be best to take a picture with 5 pairs of jeans laying on the bed and a few tops.  If the jeans have colored embroidery or sequins then that might limit what tops can go with them, but otherwise lump them altogether.  Make a note that says, “Jeans can go with most tops so you choose”.
To save time in the morning have your child look through the book the night before and pick out an outfit and pull out the clothes for the next morning.  This way, there won’t be an issue in the morning, if one of the items happens to be in the laundry.
  P.S. This post was  proposed to me for publication by Debbie Denard I'm therefore publishing it by her invitation and under her permission. See also the link below fore more information:

A well kept secret


After 46 years, more than six hours of an interview, realeased by the shot dead President Kennedy widow's Jacqueline, about her life with President John, made just after a few months from the cruel husband's assassination, is going to be published.

The interview was conducted by Pulitzer Prize Arthur Schlesinger jr, died in 2007, who kept it secret for express Jackie Kennedy Onassis's desire, very concerned for her sons' safety.

After her mother and her brother John Kennedy jr died, only Caroline has the right to publish and let all the people in the world know about the life of one of the most loved U.S.A.' s Presidents and still well impressed, positive symbol of the sixties.

To know more by Mail Foreign Service


"Almost seven hours of unreleased interviews with Jacqueline Kennedy, recorded months after the assassination of President Kennedy, are to be released.
The interviews with historian and family friend Arthur Schlesinger Jr were conducted in 1964 at her home in Washington DC.
The former first lady discusses her marriage and her White House years, election year campaigning and President Kennedy's thoughts about a second term.
The interview is part of the John F. Kennedy Presidential Library's Oral History and, at Mrs Kennedy's request, was kept sealed for an indefinite time.

Since the death of Jacqueline Kennedy, in 1994, and son John Kennedy Jr, in 1999, decisions about the tapes have been handled by daughter Caroline Kennedy.
Now, with the 50th anniversary of her father's inauguration coming next year, Caroline Kennedy is allowing the conversations to come out.
According to two officials familiar with negotiations, Hyperion will issue the transcripts in September 2011 and release 6½ hours of audiotape
It will provide a new and extended opportunity to hear the famously breathy voice of Jacqueline Kennedy, who never published a memoir, about subjects she rarely discussed in public.
Caroline Kennedy will serve as editor and write an introduction for the book, currently untitled, and a historian, who is yet to be determined, will provide annotation.
Schlesinger, a two-time Pulitzer Prize winner, died in 2007.
Caroline Kennedy has published several books with Hyperion, including a collection of her mother's favorite poems, and has worked for years with editor Gretchen Young, who acquired the book and audio and electronic rights.
