Tragedy Of
Emptiness - Trilogy/1
Three naked shadows, alien to
life: they
finally revealed themselves to me, those dead men.
The first one, who only deserves to care for
who’s unworthy, yet also demanded some respect,
feeling nothing but divine essence amongst dirty matter.
The second one was weeping miserably,
mourning for a love he had been coveting
in sad loneliness. The Fanfero was waiting
for someone else to define his destiny.
They feel in Hell, and they cannot be
elsewhere. They will talk, perhaps,
saying everything but saying nothing.
Only lies and cowardice, in fact,
can really feed their tragic illusions:
such a vain pain, within their emptiness!
