Redazione Italia, May 06, 2016





In the old days a poet
once said

In the old days a poet once said
our nation
is destroyed
yet the mountains and rivers survive

Today’s
poet says
the mountains and rivers are destroyed
yet our nation
survives

Tomorrow’s poet will say
the mountains and rivers
are destroyed
our nation is destroyed and Alas!



You and I are
completely destroyed.
