Ho visto un cane abbandonare il suo padrone per la strada
e un pescatore cavalcare in fondo al mare un pesce spada.
Ho visto un diavolo pregare col Crocifisso fra le dita
e Gesù Cristo litigare prima con Pietro e poi con Giuda.
Ho visto un lupo ed un agnello giocare insieme e darsi spago
e finalmente quel cammello passare la crune di un ago.
Ho visto il piombo galleggiare ed una piuma andare a fondo
e un pentolone per saziare la fame, giù, nel Terzo Mondo.
Ho visto un uomo di colore un giorno diventare bianco,
la cattedra di un professore sostituita con un banco.
Ho visto un principe tornare nel suo castello fatto in aria
e nelle scuole cancellare le guerre dai libri di storia.
Ma non vorrei vedere mai negli occhi puri di un bambino
quanta paura c'ha di noi, anche di me se mi avvicino,
Se in quella favola del circo resta un ricordo di violenza,
se in quella favola c'è un orco che gli ha rubato l'innocenza.
Ho visto un Santo bestemmiare mentre perdeva la sua testa
e un millepiedi camminare sul filo di un equilibrista
Ho visto rondini, di sera, tornare sui tetti d'inverno,
e un fiore secco a primavera poi rifiorire in un quaderno.
Ho visto su nell'universo la prima immagine di Dio
ed era un Dio così diverso da quello che credevo io.
Ma non vorrei vedere mai negli occhi puri di un bambino
quanta paura c'ha di noi, anche di me se mi avvicino,
Se in quella favola del circo resta un ricordo di violenza,
se in quella favola c'è un orco che gli ha rubato l'innocenza.
