What I don’t have Is the possibility to tell you The years I’ve spent without you What I don’t have is the certainty of a future What I didn’t have Is a fair education to share with you What I don’t have is the time-machinery To go back and to begin everything again What I don’t have is the possibility To take our children to school To listen to their voice, their cryings, caprices, smiles, doubts. What I don’t have are their daily questions And the answers I can’t give them. What I don’t have are those emotions, that here, owing to the time, have turned into anguisce. What I don’t have any more are The reveries of power which have led me to prison. What I don’t have now is the will to live To listen and to begin again through the instruments I’ve been learning here up to now. |
