Infant Blisters On Hand

If this is a man - is Jan. 27 - Inside

You who live safe In your warm houses, you
who find, returning in the evening
hot food and friendly faces: Consider if this is

a man who works in the mud
that knows no peace
fighting for half a loaf
dying for a yes or a no.
Consider if this is a woman,
no hair and no name
no more strength to remember
eyes empty and her womb cold
like a frog in winter.
forget that this was:
Remember these words. Carve them in your heart

When at home for away,
lying down, getting up.
Repeat them to your children. Or have you undone
Home,
the illness impede you, your
born twist their faces from you.

Primo Levi

particolararmente I do not like the poems, but this is really cool. Not only remember January 27, remember always, otherwise it is all a joke. At the dawn of the 150 years since the birth of our country, it seems right to quote these words, they are still something to build something good.

Repeat them to your children.

I repeat them to you, my friends, hoping it will not fly away.

Hugs:)
