Of Francesco Mazzuoli

It rhymes with Americanism
Europeanism
“multiculturalism”
violence and conformism.
With the privatization of healthcare
and that of the pension
with the control of opinion
and the promotion of homosexuality.
With euthanasia also for Mary's children
the uterus for rent
taxes on home ownership
the reduction of wages
the children called Abdul and not Mario.
With unemployment until the age of non-retirement
permanent precarious employment
the politically correct
the end of our culture
and soon also some small coffee.
With the fear of the absent future.
With fear even of the present.
And it seems to be a spell
no one opposes the destruction of Italy
and it is this indifference
that kills hope.
It is a poem still written in Italian
in the language I love
in a language that you too
in a while you won't understand anymore.
