Io li ho visti, faccia di legno
cuore di marmo
senza paura che tanto senz’altro un santo si trova
a benedirci, ad insabbiare
che in questo paese di sabbia ce n’è.
Io li ho rivisti, sempre gli stessi
con la parrucca
a camuffarsi tra falsi ideali di venti moderni
a fare finta di essere inermi
che guarda già quanta rabbia che c’è.
Io li ho visti pagare con strette di mano
sdraiarsi stravolti su qualche divano
poi moralizzare il seguente mattino
“la droga fa male, attenzione anche al vino”.
Li ho visti parlare, trattare, cadere
ma sempre e soltanto col loro sedere
su qualche poltrona di stato
ma non ho più fiato
e allora respiro, respiro
come se fossi ancora vivo
respiro
Io li ho visti, mano per mano
parlare piano
a decretare la fine di un uomo e la gloria di un altro
di tutto punto, imbellettati
a raccontare una nuova bugia.
Io li ho visti comprare partiti e partite
partendo su aerei di aziende fallite
che pena le ali d’
Italia spezzate
da gente affamata di buonuscite
li ho visti pregare e portare la croce
scambiarsi tra ladri un bel segno di pace
nemici per finta a Capaci
ma non ho più voce
e allora respiro, respiro
come se fossi ancora vivo
respiro
Come se fossi ancora vivo e questo ancora un bel paese
ed io non fossi andato via cercando scuse ed altre offese
e ora respiro un’altra aria, un’altra lingua e un altro cielo
e sento il peso dei miei passi in equilibrio sopra un filo
e non trattengo più il respiro
respiro
come se fossi ancora vivo
respiro
Io li ho visti, faccia di legno
cuore di marmo
a raccontare una nuova bugia
