The wasted love

 

Along the path

Of my wasted loves

Travels my mind

Through the beams

of the night

And I realize 

now I miss

The God's  wasted love!

Scene I

(Max, Brenda, George in a large bedroom)

 

Max (lying on the bed, in a dreaming voice)

-Tonight I would like to fly!!

 

Brenda (getting closer to hold the smoking pipe Max is handing to her, in a very sensual voice through the smoke she will take from the pipe)

-Why waiting tonight, my dear?

 

Max (getting up and giving the pipe Brenda is handing to George)

-Not  in that sense, Brenda! George have you got me?

 

George

-Of course I have! You would like to be some kind of flying bird, wouldn’t you?

 

Brenda (after passing the pipe George is handing to Max, miming a bird with open arms)

-Oh, yes! Let’s be a crow! Or even better, as we say with the Irish word, let’s be a

Préachàn (draws a crow’s sound from  her tongue)

 

George (also laughing  )

-I would prefer to be a dog sail!

 

Max (putting down the pipe on a bedside table)

-Great! I would also like it! A dog sail following the wake of a ship! For ever!

 

(The phone bell breaks on afterwards)

 

Max (picking up the phone)

-Hello!?

(pause)

 

Max

-Sure! It’s right today!

 

(pause again)

 

Max

-Any time you like in the afternoon!!

 

(another pause)

 

Max

-I’ll see you later, then! By, by!!

 

Brenda

-Who was it?

 

 

Max

-He was Francesco, ‘you know? The italian guy who is following our philosophy term at College….

 

Brenda

-Ah, the Jesuit priest? What did he want?

 

George

-He’s not a priest yet!

 

Max

-I had formerly invited him to the party…and he just wanted a confirmation….

 

Brenda

-He’s not a priest yet then?! That’s why he‘s joining the party!! He has told me anyway he is graduated in theological sciences or something like that…

 

Max

-Actually is doing a sort of sabbatical time before taking the final votes!

 

George

-That’s the way Jesuits are  unlisted…

 

Max

-They are supposed to experience in all things of the life before becoming a priest….

 

Brenda (laughing maliciously)

-Even going with women?

 

George

-I think they are! The things of   life also include screwing, don’t they?

 

Max (taking again the pipe in his hands)

-And also smoking I might suppose…

 

Brenda

-I expect a priest would not copulate neither smoke…

 

Max

-‘ you catholic! You’re always living among prohibitions! Is not the same for the orthodox, is it George?

 

George

-I think is not at all! As far as I know they can even get married!

 

Brenda

-As matter of fact: they have to get marry before any carnal relation!!

 

Max

-But Francesco is still a laic man!!

Brenda

-And laity are not supposed to go with any woman before they get marry with them!!

 

George

-All this matter looks like a dog trying to catch  its own tail, doesn’t it?

 

Max

-Quiet a difficult matter to face on my birthday!

 

Brenda

-Oh, by the way, did you enjoy my birthday’s present?

 

Max (watching up the pipe’s bowl and searching somewhere around)

-Where is the rest of the grass?

 

Brenda (handing him a small silver wrapping paper )

-Here you are!

 

Max (filling up the   bowl and   passing to George the lighting pipe)

-Of course I did! What about you George?

 

George (tasting a long blow and passing the pipe to Brenda)

-That’s really a special stuff! I’m stoned as hell!

 

Brenda (taking a blow)

-Why do we say ‘stoned as hell’? I actually feel stoned as heaven!

 

Max

-Do we have anymore to share with our guests?

 

Brenda

-Don’t worry about. We’ll have plenty of it!!  Vincent, my pusher, has promised to come along with a large pound of the same stuff, this afternoon, at five  o’clock; this was only a free sample (shows the empty tinfoil)

 

(A heavy sound hits the time)

 

George

-Goodness! It’s one o’clock!?!

 

Brenda (laughing and mocking a famous song)

-And time for lunch! Onky-tonky!

 

Max (laughing too)

            -And we still have to set the catering on the tables for the guests! They might be coming soon!

 

Brenda

-Let’s go upstairs then!

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.
