In the darkness

In the darkness

I saw a world

hangs in the balance on a boat.

People, men, women, children

herded like worthless goods.

Again slave ships

come out from history books

back from past up to today, 

arrogant and shameless,

once again to drift in the sea.

A sea of fear,

for those on board.

A sea of killing spree,

for those who put them 

on the waves.

A sea of indifference,

for those who consider it just a breaking news by TV.

... and what remains it's only death, despair;

and not only on the boat.

The souls of the righteous are drowned

along with the civilizations of a wrong world,

down in the deep darkness,

in the waters of the Mediterranean.

Peace to you, penitent souls,

you that first of everybody, now,

deserve a land of happiness.
