Earthquake - The Faceless Enemy
2 min read
The Faceless Enemy
The Earth, our Mother Earth,
This «flower bed that makes us so ferocious»(*)
Can in turn be fierce, a faceless enemy.
Nobody can defeat it, the nature's laws say.
So, when his trembling weapons hit us
In just one minute, an infinite time,
Our life becomes a speck of sand
Between the fingers of the fate.
Crunchs, then roars and howls
In the night, from an angry subsoil.
Meanwhile someone dies
Amid shrieks, there below in the dust.
Now that dawn is coming up
Fear gushes from your shining eyes
In your heart the blood freezes.
What you see is just dust.
A dog is still looking for his master.

(*) «flower bed that makes us so ferocious» is a verse of the Dante's Divine Comedy, Paradiso, XXII, 151: "L'aiuola che ci fa tanto feroci". In comparison to the Universe, the Earth is only a small flower bed, but is able to make us so ferocious and arouse in us the cupidity.

I would like to dedicate this my poor words, dictated more from sadness and emotion rather than from a literary intent, to Amatrice.
The beautiful Apennine village of Amatrice was admitted in the Club of "The most beautiful villages in Italy" last year.
On the night of August 24, an earthquake destroyed this small village.
Amatrice as it was: www.youtube.com/watch?v=kAkVsF…
And as it is now, after the earthquake: www.youtube.com/watch?v=agAqqv… www.youtube.com/watch?v=C8V5vj…
While aftershocks (nearly 1,000 in 48 hours) continue, 284 victims have been extracted from the rubble, but probably there are others buried by debris.

Please Save My Father!
2 min read
A deviant calls for urgent aid to save his father.
Save the life of one person is like saving the whole world,
because, for that person, his life is the whole world.
Even a community of artists can become a superhero
helping those in serious difficulty.
So, if you can help, please do.
You can sign this petition:

This is the request for aid of
Please Save My Father!
(Photos of my Dad fro 1993, 1999, 2000 and 2003- we have few photos after 2007 due to financial difficulties. My father is camera shy.)
Normally, I never ask for help because most people are hurting here and may not be able to help. My parents always raised me to self-sufficient, work diligently according to ethic (and more often, exhaustion because life is harsh) and live according to discipline.
But now we need help. We have no one to help us. No family, no friends (except you’uns here, namely the awesome angel that is the extraordinary charcoalfeather) to help us. We live in a small, rural town that is rife with corruption and nepotism.
Since November 9th, 2015, my father, a remarkable man of 66 years of ages, was wrongfully evicted from his residence. I reside with my parents in our small, 2-bedroom apartment in Public Housing Project in our rural t

The Big Man
We gotta be tough
We gotta be strong
No fear no pity no mercy
For our enemies
Stay with me
We’ll win
‘Cause in the end
Everybody loves me
"I joked on this issue, but I think there is little to laugh. This proliferation of new dittatorelli - or aspiring small dictators - recalls dark times, actually not very far away, whose horrible smell still comes down to us". (Mauro Pagani, The Big Man)

Dear DeviantArt, why?

Dear DeviantArt,
You sent me a notification: "Help welcome new deviants", with which you propose to me to welcome, among others, the new deviant ranspecnawallbi, which blatantly came on DeviantArt with only one purpose: the phishing! And lately there are many like this.
Why do you ask me to make me an accomplice of a probable fraudster?
I beg you to better control who comes into our house, otherwise, someone could get hurt clicking on some unsafe links.
Best regards,
Karolus
