How would be the world ?

Everybody says that everything in the world finishes

I say no!

Neither the matter: - itself changes

The poetry is there since from immemorial times…

The world is made by poetry,

by history and thoughts...

For some moments let's go back in time:

The wind brought us the writings

and poems of Sappho, Cicero, Socrates,

Plato, Aristotle and many others

-          the pearls of art and literature we know…

And we pass by the fables of Aesop,
by the Shakespeare’s plays and poems;
The poetry of Exupery's Little Prince,
by Celan, João Cabral, Drummond, Capote,
Asimov, Hemingway, Frost, Faulkner
and thousands of other...

And then, what would be the world  

without poets and writers;
without  thinkers, comedians, counters
of stories, and the troubadours?

How would be the world without teachers,

Without philosophers, historians,

archaeologists, doctors
and engineers (especially the artists of the word)?

How would be the world

Without musicians, theaters, actors
without the beautiful women portrayed
by poems and by without painters?

How would be my world

Without  you?
