da sempre vaga(Swans - December 19, 2011)
ignara della meta,
quest'umanità
it is still wandering,
unaware of an aim,
our humanity.
—Simona Gioè
our country is a boat, an opened shell
let down from fired uplands by wars, not by the sun
and if we all are one only living being, we all are migrants
and if we all are one only living being, we all are migrants
"i am invisible, understand, simply because people refuse to see me...
heartbroken, i lose memory of dignity"
and if we all are one only living being, we all are migrants
Comment by Francesca Saieva: Que naus partiram, para onde? (Pessoa) En un instant le vide comble de distance la peau qui change de couleur. Déjà une ombre n'est qu'un corps muet... mais au bout du voyage pésera-t-il encore sur la balance de la vie?
Collage: dispersi in trappola, by Pippo Zimmardi (2011). Zimmardi teaches philosophy at the Liceo G.Meli in Palermo. He took a picture of boat people off the Web and created the collage to show the human entrapment in the nuthouse of our materialistic society.
