Il povero Cristo
è sceso dalla croce
per prima cosa ha appreso
la condizione atroce
amar la vita e viverla
ed essere felice
amar la vita e vivere
sapendo di morire
ma invece di un fratello
vedere nel suo simile
il primo da affogare
se appena è un po’ più debole
Il povero Cristo
ha visto com’è l’uomo
che il povero Cristo
mangia verze e patate
e intanto chi gli è sopra
si gode oro e alloro
e a lui che ha perso
e ammucchia per sé solo
ricchezze smisurate
ma appena gliele ha toltenon divide in uguaglianza,
ma del padrone apprende
il pensiero e l’arroganza
e intanto nel mondo una guerra è signora della Terra
Ma appena gliele ha tolte
non divide in uguaglianza,
ma del padrone apprende
il pensiero e l’arroganza.
E intanto nel mondo una guerra è signora della Terra
Il povero Cristo
è sceso dalla croce
si è messo sulla strada
e va ascoltando voci
c’è chi lo tira a destra
chi lo spoglia a sinistra
tutti lo voglion primo
nella loro lista.
ma piuttosto che da vivo
a dare il buon ufficio
è meglio averlo zitto
e morto in sacrificio.
E intanto nel mondo una guerra è signora della Terra.
E intanto nel mondo una guerra è signora della Terra.
Il povero Cristo
è sceso dalla croce
e Cristo come era
ha incontrato l’uomo
aveva un paio di baffi
e un coltello da affilare
lo sguardo torvo non
smetteva di sfidare
e gli ha detto: “Cristo, spostati e lasciami passare
non voglio sentir prediche, ho già molto da fare”
