My Mother Earth

 

Who knows where I've been in the last twenty centuries?

May be I was a roman soldier

guarding the Adrian Wall

where I met a pale blue eyes blonde love

to warm my winters

to show me love is anywhere

anyhow.

and I was scattered back

on some Mediterranean  coast

groping with the Normans

a new life, which is also

and again an old life;

like that I had as Greek's slave

before my manumission

when I captured those

I had been conquered by.

And when  I'll be searching

for other worlds

far in the skies

will I remember

 my Mother Earth?

Beyond the Hadrian Wall

My heart is sad, today. Our English friends have gone away from Europe. Our brotherhood is ended in the worst way. Of course I respect whato English people have just chosen on the polls. Nevertheless I feel sad. I dreamed, and I still dream, The United States of Europe and in my dreams England was a must to be part of it. I have in mind Jo Cox, killed because she was fond of EU. And still I think that this choose is the result of more than a mistake. But I made up my mind and I accept what the polls have decreed. Let me say, anyway, the paradox I see on the table: The Scots, cut off two thousands years ago by the Hadrian Wall, for they didn't want to be part of Roman Civilisation, now are complaining for their exclusion from Europe. And the English, who were so proud to be on this side of the wall, are now off.  I am a bit confused, and I also feel   a sense of betrayal on the history path. But that's politic! that's reality.  

What news on Brexit?

I spread  English news (specially the Guardian and The Evening Standard, but also BBC News) trying to understand what's going on about Brexit.
I don't think Brexit must be considered an English domestic affair, since it involves Scotland, Northen Ireland and the rest of Europe.
Of course I respect the decision of British people, included the original referendum held in June 2016.
Nevertheless allow me to express my doubts about the democratic process gone on until now to bring UK out of European Union.
First of all I want to say that politician must also listen what Scotland has to say about Brexit. It's a really historic paradox that England wants to be out of Europe while Scotland, despite the Hadrian Wall, likes instead to be in.
Secondly let me say that there are several shadows hanging over the 2016 referendum, won by little porcentage by the Leavers. Has British people correctly infromed over the cosequences of voting leave? It seems It has not, since the survey recently show that people were not rightly infromed; as a matter of fact the public opinion now sees a majority proremaining in the E.U..
Last but not least let me say that Europe needs its British brothers staying in. Do you remember Jo Cox, the English MP killed by a far right fanatic leaver? Would be her blood lost invane?

Please don't go

Please don't go away

We share the same history

Our roots are merged 

in a common mud

made of blood, of sweat, of love.

We have walked together

since that day Julius Caesar

discovered that my land and your land

were just parts of the same unity.

Please don't go:

we need each other

we need to minge together

our fantasy and your cleverness

our genius and your greatness.

Europe won't be

the same without you

Albion sons, Cox brothers:

just don't go away.

Beyond the Hadrian Wall

Scottish PM Nicola Sturgeon has called for a new referendum on Scotland leaving the UK. 

That's a straight consequence of  premier May triggering the article 50 of European Treaty in order to drive UK out of EU ( the so called Brexit). 

Edinborough does not want to leave Bruxelles and Scottish people want to remain in the European Union. 

As matter of fact the large majority of Scots voted for remaining in the june referendum last year. 

So London risks to pay a very high price leaving EU. 

But if Edinborough succeeds on its idea of breaking the unity with London, then we will have to say that English have succeeded where even the Roman Empire had failed: joining the Caledonian lands to the western civilised countries, while England will remain off the Hadrian Wall.

 I ask my English friends if it is worth all this.

 Please, put apart your pride and come back on your steps. 

EU needs to be changed from inside. 

We need London staying with us. We want Scotland staying within. 

Can anyone do anything to stop an odd and casual disaster like Brexit seems to be? 

Anyway, London will be in my heart for ever.
