A Romanian young nomad killed an Italian middle-aged lady few days ago and after this unfortunately cruel episode, Rome has been a war zone. All of us have some kind of racist characters and during past years I have understood, how stupid, also me, have been. How naive it may sound, I want to be a better person from this point of view. Well, when asked to list the main characters of my personality, some of you, perhaps and hopefully, could consider me even as a good hearted person. But does being good counts in this evil world?
How sad it may sounds, I have started believing that it could be quite irrelevant after all. For 28 years I have tried to do my best, but have almost always found people that have taken advantage of it. I am quite easy going person, I think. World don’t fall apart and small things don’t matter. Be honest to others and to yourself, good manners, not being bossy but diplomatic, however do. Smile and other people smile to you. Should be simple, right? But frankly, it seems not to be so.
This morning a nasty little “fellow” with his buddies waited bus with me. Spitting and talking terrible things about foreign people living in Rome. I don’t want to use their exact words. While on the bus, I read a book, but woke up later on for this; I saw this little teenager nasty fellow, after getting off from the bus, punching a Pakistani man. Just because he was not Italian and just because lately every excuse is good to give shit to foreign people in Rome. Ignorant parents, ignorant children. Italian TV shows as well its best; Romanian, English, Egyptian, Polish…shouldn’t it be illegal to give all these “national” details when not knowing if they are true or false. What I want to shout out is: stop generalizing. Your way is not always the best way. That’s your ignorance, I want to wash my hands of it. I have a tendency to be atheistic, but when believing, I hope that there will be a punishment to all unjust things made and words said.
The stage is an open platform
I speak of personal conviction
because of that I am a guest
who's in charge
it's an open forum
music is music
we're here to share what we know
can we not coexist
are there limits on being open minded
are we a threat to you
it seems to be personal
but it doesn't have to be
acceptance is a part of life
tolerance is too
we're to help not corrupt
Educate the ignorant - Few left standing
