“The Dogs bark and the Caravan moves on”
How many times do we stop along the journey,
to listen to the malicious and gossipy,
who have nothing better to do than doubt
and criticize those who work and create daily.
How many good projects, personal or collective,
have not be completed and have not borne fruit,
because such people with no purpose other than
disagree by no reason or understanding,
sometimes out of pure envy or ill will.
Once we have had a resolute and firm conviction,
we cannot let go of that faith with which we began,
even if the opposing sides are more intelligent
or insightful.
Ideas and perspectives are individual and,
almost always, misunderstood by other minds,
other than ours.
We, the ones who create and make things happen,
must to learn to ignore them and turn a deaf ear.
(The title of this poem is in Italian, to pay tribute to the Italian author Dante Alighieri, who introduced his play “Inferno”, in his poem “The Divine Comedy”, written in 1308, with these words)

The wind of time carries away our stories
and our triumphs,
and we have no strength to stop it,
nor even think to restrain, or give it,
any criteria or compassion in its predatory
and animalistic onslaught.
It does not respect the love and empathy,
which, as humans, we have managed to create,
and have tried to pass on to new generations,
which, with difficulty, have to recreate them,
great and unjust penalty.
It is a wind that has blown since the beginning,
and comes riding us on horseback, and appears
like those weeds that twine around and suffocate
the trees that give us fruit and shade.
Just like also those small fish, the remoras
or suckfish, that effortlessly travel oceans
on the backs of larger fish, which
does not know how to avoid them.
