Heres a beautiful poem from the Sicilian poet (from Bagheria/Baaria): Michelangelo Balistreri English translation: THE VOICE OF MY LAND You who are far away and dont know my land and in its destiny see only mafia and war. youve never seen the sun at dawn when the sea awakens and with its warmth, drys the sweat of my laboring people. Youve never seen the brilliance of the lights in our hearts when even the hurts tired of calling for attention turn into love. yes, you can tell me why you write to me only of sweetness without ever mentioning all the christs who have been crucified and I answer you. Youve never heard the voice of my land and the poetry those other things pertain neither to the people nor to my land. Michelangelo Balistreri
