Five Poems by Francesco Favetta

 



Sorry humanity!

 

Children killed

in the silence of the world

tortured women

grieving mothers

blood on the streets

a red river

that screams pain

dissolved in the earth

still wet with death

of innocence severed.

Sorry humanity

we are the victims

forget

we are the souls

homeless

we are the burden

on consciences

unshed tears

rights denied

we are the stolen life.


 

We are Palestinian children

 

They are children

far away

they are invisible

they don't weigh on the heart

but in silence they die

without awakening

anger

riots

or vomiting

retching and stomach ache.

They do not count

Nothing

I am not meat

they are not blood

they are only Palestinians

nobody's children

servants without a country

souls robbed of life

murdered hearts

they are cannon fodder.

                                                                    
                                                                        


In the roots of the heart!

Far from life

away from everything

in the silence of the earth

in hidden places

to human eyes

where the time

is suspended

lives in the rock

in the roots of the heart

the voice always on

of pure love.


                                                                                                                                                

Son of freedom 

 

Another day

it's not a dark night

maybe life will change

but we will never see

fall into doubt

the son of freedom.

He still reigns in the world

the wolf's robe

and has human features

it's the evil behind the wall

he is the man without a heart

the modern brute animale.


                                                                                                                                              

It's like the wind !

 

Rooted in silence

the warrior's heart beats

rushes like trains

they march in his blood

it's a rock

because it doesn't chip

his animal is fire.

In his eyes

burns eternally

the passion for life

gear

with light footsteps

to destiny

it never meets.

It's like the wind

fly up and forward

captures every moment

the pure breath of beauty

it goes higher and higher

it only goes down when

love is present.
