La nuit de Bartolomei

Pyopoesy


Looking 
A fine sunshine day of august dated 1572 
…all the stages set 
…all the hoard brilliant 
burgess dressed in festive attire 
town ablazed and festal ever 
going to hold a conciliating celebration 
under cover of wedding 
slaughter!..undercovered cowards and friends 
murder!..indulgence in the name of Messiah 
massacre!..highlights of the wedding feast 
creed!..hate and demise 
thousands of flowers flit about 
overwhelming their dark steps to altar 
on the path that´s without a love 
entangled in a secrecy of treason and revenge 
both believing that´s the way to do 
but playing the white figures 
in the hands of the forceful fanaticized catholics 
the ones without souls 
just like an angry dogs 
horny for the bloody hooray 
…all the brilliant,all the festal 
a feast about to burst out 
King´s exploited and scared 
makes a getback of no mercy 
the pogrom have begun 
against Hugenot guests 
fratricidal horror strife 
in the name of God 
human narrow-mindedness 
the inflation knows no bounds 
triumphed over life and death
