An evocative poem by Francesco that transcends from the individual to the universal – exclusively for Different Truths.

You open
your heart
humanity
don't skimp
do not spare yourself
believe in the common good
in happy thoughts
in freedom
of living
in love and harmony.
Rejoice
for your fellow man
brother or sister
drop the crosses
sink your eyes
deep inside
of your soul.
Drink at the source
of love
humanity
of this world
your caresses are fertile
always give them
to the humble
and the oppressed
children of this land
children of life
given by Heaven
in our days.
