Today is a day of mourning for Poetry.
E 'dead in Milan Merini Alda, ever proposed for a Nobel Prize, or for appointment as a senator for life, rarely given the attention to his work (but more for his mental state) by all the different colors of Government and Public Administration and Centers Power media, literary and cultural rights that have occurred during his long artistic career and troubled life.
in France was reported as a symbol of intellectual excellence of the French in the World, in Germany it would have an 'icon of the cultural tradition of the people, the British would teach and translate around the world, America would have made sure that his writings circulate like blood in the veins, from the ghettos to the living rooms of the metropolis, and in large areas of land and mental world, and so on.
Here instead is expected to be worth the death, and everyone waits for an artist who might die because his works are exploiting.
As was the case for many other poets, musicians, artists and writers, as always post mortem will be websites, revival, special and more.
will be bestowed to Alda Merini perhaps the same state funeral which have been bestowed with Mike Bongiorno ... or maybe not. Apparently ... yes. We
the usual, you think you can count in the World although it is not worth nothing (or very little) in the literature;
even if you do not worth nothing (or very little) in mathematics, science, even if
not worth nothing (or very little) political and intellectual honesty;
even if you do not worth nothing (or very little) in the ability and morality of business;
even if you do not worth nothing (or very little) in fair trade and conduct of business;
even if it is well known that the reputation is established italianity that get away are always clever .
But until we neglect poets, scrittori, artisti;
fin quando si continuerà a maltrattare e svilire il nostro (cospicuo) patrimonio artistico e storico;
si continuerà a rubacchiare soldi qua e là per la (pantomima della) ricerca scientifica;
ad insegnare ai giovani a fare i bulli a scuola, a fare "fessi" i professori e imparare le materie di studio con la "sputazza" giusto per superare gli esami; non si dirà loro " osate, siate protagonisti del vostro tempo, proponetevi sullo scenario europeo o anche mondiale, per quel che valete! ", ma viceversa " tirate a campare! Divertitevi... perdete tempo, tanto non vale niente! ", senza che vi sia rigore e serietà negli studies (children of any Slovenia, Croatia or Lithuania who know more of our teenagers);
will continue to pretend to solve problems such as organized crime mafia bosses arrested, Mafia bosses, leaders and various Capetti, without giving prospects for young people;
puttanai will continue to engage in public office;
to manage the power never mind the poor health care, poor education, information, justice for the poor, waste of resources;
will be continued to wink squalid compromises;
until we will proceed to backroom deals, favoritism, recommendations and exchanges of favors;
businesses will fail as long as the Cirio and Parmalat (tip of the iceberg of course, the general situation), it will take until
tangentopolies vallettopoli, etc. parentopoli. to flush out the corrupt and poisoned the social life
we Italians will not count a damn beyond the Alps and Lampedusa, because we deserve this, needless to hide behind the excuse that our language, little known, is a limit disclosure of our "genius" (the Dutch then? The Danish, Swedish, etc..?).
We can not rely only because we are in the World of Little Rascals or appealing to Valentino, Ferrari, Brunello, mozzarella di bufala, the national football team, or the myth (old) of LATIN LOVER.
It 's very sad and troubling for all of this for future generations.
I really hope that something will change and there will not be our total annihilation, and I will do everything in my small, you can (... dear poet, if you're somewhere, give me a hand, along with my deceased loved ones , to which I am addressing today that, according to Catholic tradition, is the day dedicated to all the dead. ..) to fight so that this does not happen.
