WHEN I SPEAK ABOUT THE SEA - Poem 22
When I speak about the sea
I feel me blue
and I soothe the anger
that my soul feels
upon seeing the pain that surrounds me.
Children who have lost their mother
in a stupid war
that money contends,
heartrendering wounds
that cry out with their blood
a future peace,
misery after misery
fill the stomachs with hunger
of whole populations,
tragedies that flood the soul
with doubts and sadness,
and though I know the sky is still there,
with its sun and moon,
I cannot help but feeling
the lonliness of being alive,
the mistery of the reason why,
and the torment of thinking perhaps
there is nothing more,
and that all pushes me,
by instinct, because of pride,
to love those people,
modest learners
of the diviness of the human being,
unknown and brave friends
who are invisibly together
in a quiet battle
that keeps the world alive,
eternal brothershood
that resists the thrust
of emptyness and of forgetfulness.
