melpomena Poesia non muori “Today in this world there are about fifty tons of explosives per person. How many milligrams of poetry per head of the population are there?” A lieutenant asked me “We defend life with weapons Not whit rubbish”. “A football player today costs millions. How much does a poet cost?” Asked my accountant "No loans for poetry, God only helps those who posses". "Happy or unhappy Man still dies." A psychologist comforted me: "take your medicine without complaining. Tempus dolores tua delebit". Poesia non muori.
melpomena What happiness What happiness To live in this happy world! Science teaches us to think like gods How many vitamins to swallow How many hours to sleep How to live and die healthy. The State defends us Against neighbours and other beasts Teaches us to make money and children. Politics cleans our brains From the larvae of divergent ideas Teaches us to act and choose correctly No clouds or oysters in our memories. The Church blesses us Protects our souls from evil spirits Shows us the way to heaven.
