Apre la strada
la vita e l’amore
chiude la strada
la morte e il dolore
limpida è l’aria
la palma è tranquilla
il fiume scorre
la luna non vede
che polvere e stelle
l’alba non sente
l’angoscia di noi
Piccoli soldati
piccoli e armati
dal coraggio d’ordinanza e dalla noia
dalla gloria dal rancio e dagli eroi
e dalle..
lettere d’amore
La casa ci separa e ci avvelena
nessuno tornera’ più come prima
Filo spinato
cemento armato
occhi nascosti
ovunque per terra
la radio gracchia
la testa scuote
le buche e le ruote
il cielo è soltanto
una feritoia
un recinto blindato
di un vetro di Humvee
Il deserto è tranquillo
non c’è linea del fronte
pattuglia di guardia
a balia del nulla
nulla che esplode
rovente nell’aria
odore di gomma
e carne bruciata
e pezzi di cranio
cervella per terra
e pezzi di faccia
e pezzi di noi
meccanismi d’ossa
e protesi in cambio
e sangue drenato
e sangue versato
In sacchi di plastica
torna un soldato
e lascia effetti
foto e armadietti
e alcool in branda
pornografia
e giacche graduate
lucenti e stemmate
e soldi e coraggio
e contratti d’ingaggio
lascia un alloggio
e lascia..
lettere d’amore
Uccidere non è peccato se non sei ucciso tu
uccidere non è peccato se è regola e lavoro
50 metri
sparare al motore
a 20 nel vetro
a 10 nel cuore
non hai conosciuto
chi è che hai centrato
una croce nel vetro
nebulizzato
non era un soldato
non era un soldato
piccolo e armato..
Il cielo ora è più nero e non è fumo
nessuno tornera’ più come era
La notte è serena
la palma è tranquilla
il fiume scorre
Babilonia muta
resta nel sole
e non si importa di noi
Piccoli soldati
piccoli e armati
piccoli soldati
piccoli e armati
