Francesco Favetta Sciacca (Sicily) Italy
We live in war
We fall into the darkness
inside the wounds of the earth
in the silence of the days
in rivers of blood
flowing in the streets
pain around us
and the death of children.
We live in war
we have become inhuman
every day imposed
by heartless men
and we accept any violence
criminal brutes and murderers
vampires of innocent blood.

Deep in the light of the eyes
Beyond that hedge
I see the horizon disappearing
in the silence of the earth
far from reality
away from the noise.
I hear the song of nature
stronger and stronger in life
and in every desert I have seen
a hidden flower
fragile nascent shoot.
Deep in the light of the eyes
the soul is silent faith
that breathes in wonders
of the heart and life
a full moon of love
It’s inside you!
For good
there’s a party
the happy thought
every interior dwelling
born from the heart.
In the eyes
there is the soul
the eternal spark
the seed of dreams
Worldwide.
But it’s in the heart
that love reigns
the sacred fire
the truth
faith
The roots of man
Sing from the heart
and everywhere in life
away from everything
and from evil
infinite love
the fearless thought
it is a rare seed
never putrefied.
It lives in the blood
the desire to fight
and fight for good
without the violence
go down
down to the roots
build bridges
to become a man.
Little girl from Gaza
I’ll touch your face
innocent soul
breath killed
from the iron of man
flesh stolen from life.
I will hug you again
silent unaware age
daughter kidnapped at the time
I’m still a budding singer
open wound in the world.
I will remember you in my heart
wherever you are
little girl from Gaza
caresses and sacred dreams
it will be the sheets
of your eternal sleep
What kind of man would you be
Beast you are man
what kind of man would you be
in this human delirium
but then it’s so heavy
your burden
to ruin everything
every little bond.
On the consciences of the world
your responsibilities
they are terror and fears
the crosses on the pain of the people
your fratricidal wars
innocent deaths
mud and blood on the ground
Ohhh my captain!
Ohhhh my captain
the trials of life are long
as well as truths in the mists
that shatter over time
leaving trails everywhere
they are the destinies born
in the silence of the days.
Ohhhh my captain
helmsman always
never tamed by storms
intrepid destiny
your routes are
the ways of courage
seabeds and hidden beaches.
Ohhhh my captain
raise the sails and turn the bow
because the wind has become
furious and arrogant
howls from the South
from the Mediterranean coasts
brings destruction and death.
Songs of the Soul
The enchantment
and beauty
in the silence of nature
they echo
within time
where every breath
it is a Divine mystery.
The song of Love
resonates eternally
in the songs of the Soul
endless verses
music and notes
written in the heart
Poems rooted in blood
Life with you is love!
Corsair life
shipwrecked
drowned
in the depths of this sea
agitated and moved
by the waves of time.
Life
your every breath
stay immersed
deep into the abyss
among the darkness
and the unexplored silences.
Life without fears
life in faith
life wherever it is
life with you love is
my life it’s still you
life never forget.
