Si può spegnere ogni tanto il pensiero
smettere almeno di crederci per davvero
e non essere più schiavi per lo meno
di un'idea come di un'altra, di un mistero
sembra che non sia possibile dimenticarsi di sè
e giudicandoci ognuno con gli altri
convincersi che
se non lo sai
buoni o cattivi
non è la fine
prima c'è il giusto o sbagliato
da sopportare
si può spegnere ogni tanto il cervello
smettere almeno di usare solo quello
si può far finta che non ci sia niente
anche quando ti tremano le gambe
sembra che non sia possibile dimenticarsi di sè
e giudicandoci ognuno diversi
convincersi che
se non lo sai
buoni o cattivi
non è la fine
prima c'è il giusto o sbagliato
da sopportare...
... che di per sè è maledetto
perchè divide
mentre qui tutto
dovrebbe solo unire
