La Piovra - Jan Theuninck, 2014


La piovra è una metafora con cui è indicata la mafia


Abituiamoci a sentire la bellezza del fresco profumo della libertà e della giustizia che si oppone al puzzo del compromesso morale (Paolo Borsellino)


Stalag Zehn B
il feldwebel era promosso generale
il dottore dell’accampamento, professore
e noi gli ebrei - è banale
noi siamo rimasti ebrei - nessun errore

Intolerance - Jan Theuninck, 2014



"One even becomes a suspect for not thinking correctly!" (Jan Theuninck in Letteratour, 29 november 2004).
"l'intolérance a couvert la terre de carnage" dixit Voltaire
“There is a huge difference between being tolerant and tolerating intolerance"(Ayaan Hirsi Ali)
"The further a society drifts from the truth, the more it will hate those that speak it"(George Orwell)




Red River
the train was too late
by foot it was too far
the river too nearby
the hatred too strong
bullets through your head
river of blood
red Danube
dead Budapest

burned in the oven
I perished in smoke

Auschwitz

bruciato nel forno
mi è perito in fumo
la cenere che rimane
è grigia profonda
