The following poem was written by a public radio journalist from here... he's the best journalist we've ever had: Sergio Savoia. He never compromised, never kissed anyone's feet, or a**s, and always spoke his mind. Censorship does exist, unfortunately, and it's everywhere, so they found a pretext to sack him. His words now still live on... check www.ildiavolo.com if you understand Italian. This English translation is mine, and I apologise to Sergio for my imperfections. |
DON'T LET US GET USED TO IT Above all don’t let us get used to it,
don’t let us start to find normal
the briefings' updates,
the Pentagon neo-language,
the analysts’ jargon
Don’t let us start
To talk about collateral damages,
to get drunk on technical data
of Cruise and Tomcat.
Don’t let us ever find out
Anything nice or pleasant about this war
Don’t let us ever forget
That where missiles hit
There are bodies
who break into pieces
More orphans, more widows
More fathers without children
More husbands without wives
Be it right or wrong
Don’t let us forget
That this is a war.
Ugly, horrendous, disgusting
Like wars always are |

Have a wonderful birthday and one to remember for a long time | RoscoeGregg Sun Sep 27, 2009 15:47 UTC
I just love that poem. Please know that many people in the U.S. feel the same way and we are working to make our country's role more possitive. Sorry we are dragging everyone with us. Keep the faith for peace! | MM212 Thu Sep 10, 2009 19:27 UTC
Hi - all is well. Very hot, but I'm used to it by now. Ciao, Momo. |
