POEM BY ALI IMRAN

TRANSLATED BY MARIA TERESA LIUZZO (DIRECTOR OF THE INTERNATIONAL CULTURE MAGAZINE ''LE MUSE'' - ITALY)

[Poet: Ali Imran]

[Translator: Maria Teresa Liuzzo]

This work of art brings me back to the past.
Oh, how I wish I could go back in time
where even the dream was imposing.
We could climb up and down
with the memory of carefree days
to relive a glimpse of those times
and feel like angels
to be able to fly above the skyscrapers,
see the sea from above, and the people who look like ants.
Then, I realize
that the weather was fickle and fairy-tale-like
and that is why Art and Literature were born.
To stop time and hold it tight in your arms
like a creature.
Stop that moment in your heart and the years on paper,
question the future and write centuries of history.
Thoughts are rivers of ink
anime paintings in frame.
Literature the most powerful voice
that questions the future,
the word the message of man before dawn.
- Ali Imran
