Sorin, aren't you glad you started this?? I didn't think it would show us such creativity and insight. These are keepers.

"I"
-----------------------
By Giorgio Gaber
-----------------------
The word "I"
it is a concept which grows little by little
for a child it is a sweet echo
it encourages your first steps
towards an intimate certainty of self
The word "I"
with time it assumes
a more precise tone
sometimes it is in danger
of being annoying
but it is also a sign
of a childlike logic
it is a recurring but venial sin.
I, I, I
only I.
But the defects of the adolescence
are not cancelled with age
and strangely in adults
they become more alarming and grow.
The word "I"
a strange fear
that is hidden in vain
the fear of not becoming somebody
it is an exaggerated need
and a little morbid
it is the distressing image of Narcissus.
I, I, I
and still I.
I that have not been born
to always remain
confused in anonymity
I put myself first
I don't like the idea of being
one among many
every day I expand myself
I can be the center of the world.
I am always present
I am disposed to whichever sentiment
which makes me feel important
I must be quick
exalted by this mania
to assert myself at all costs
I sell myself to the point of inflation
I want to be the center of the world.
I do not respect anybody
if it serves me I can also pretend
being good
I must dominate
I am a being without ideals
made thirsty of power
I am in command
I must be the center of the world.
Conceited, presumptuous I
exhibitionist, pompous, proud and
prideful I, megalomaniac, braggart
eager and invading
sickening, arrogant, unkind
I, only I
everywhere I.
The word "I"
this sweet little syllable
it is fatal that it is spreading
in the logic of the western world
perhaps it is their last sin.
I.

Got a question to you poets,
I love writing things to music. Might I try to put some music to these poems? I can hear the music already, especially with Kenny's stuff.
Sincerely,
Anne C. McGuire
