piazza massimo

War is only man's invention
Carrots, sticks and spears are but strength
Broken noses, hollow eyes, headless bodies
Amputated arms, cloaked in carved clay
The rest lies under the stone sarcophagus
Selfishly suffocating in its own silent glory
Thousands of years past, why are we still trapped?
Strength is not power, in the end it stands alone
Power is the art to persuade
To create peace, to appreciate simplicity
Like:
A baby's plum cheeks, juicy and round
A peach colored petal, fragile but free
An orange tree, fruitful with possibilities
A balance of bodies, in imperfect harmony
A family, a country, builds itself up
by the continuation of its generation
Not necessarily by feats or by fame
For those leave empty legacies

That unless lost, are learned, relearned, but unlived
