Introspection
Marcello Passagrilli 1944 (Terni)
INTROSPECTION
Further the threshold of innocence,
I winded my way towards wisdom.
I gathered the results of experience,
I tried to give them the dignity of a theory.
Cheering for the brave behaviour
or feeling ashame for my misconduct.
Every mycro-bits of my practicism
I filtered with a mercyless critics.
Over my shoulders I carried my weights
and I'm walking, slowing down the pace
and along the road still miles to cover.
I'm not asking for any absolution.
But I'm pretending a fair judgement.
