GREAT RETURN SPEECH ON WISDOM

From the SECRETARIAT of THE GREAT LEADER :

The Great Leader has returned to his desk and promptly resumed the process of freedomization of the people. But he could not continue his work because he was distracted by the massive demostration of affection of our people outside calling out their Leader.

He stepped in the balcony to greet the millions of demostrators, and taking advantage of the surprise situation he unveiled the new flag design, which he dreamed the night before. The new flag has the color of the blood and the color of the night with a bright sun in the center.

The crowed cheered for hours before The Great Leader grabbed the mic and
uttered the GREAT RETURN SPEECH ON WISDOM

Children,
We all are in a living state trying to find the way of the future ahead.
A future, that is better than what we have got now.
But some of you think that is better to fight against one other over ideas of a better future. This struggle has brought death and destruction upon our society.
Like a cancer, spreading all over, today the ideological struggle is the reason why
So much of what we had learned from the wise old people has gone forgotten.

Children,
Today, I return from a long period of infirmity.
While I was under treatment I had a revelation, and here I am telling you.
There is no better future if we forget what the old wise people had taught us.
There is no better future if we jump ahead of our time to trample yesterday wisdom.
Learn to wait for your turn, learn to listen and listen to learn.

Children,
Today, we lay a brick onto yesterday’ s brick.
While I was away from you, I had a vision, and here I am telling you.
I had wakened in a world where youth was celebrated and old age was repressed.
Young Leaders ruled over their peers and old people were hidden.
It was the law of arrogance over the rule of wisdom, it was chaos.

Children,
The only hope to the freedomization relies in the respect of older people.
The path to a Leader Free World can only be found in the light of wisdom.
Don’t let any young arrogant and disrespectful person mistreated elderly,
As the sentiment of power is often misleading when poorly handed.
Whenever in doubt or lost look around and seek the white hair.

Health and prosperity be with you and your neighbor

The Great Leader's Health

From the Ministry of The Great Leader's Health:

Yesterday morning after visiting our Great Leader, Dr. Levin confirmed the viral nature of the throat condition, excluding then the suspect of an infection of the laryngite. Althought The Great Leader wanted to be tested anyway for any possibile deterioration of the voice box condition. Dr. Levin also authorized a blood take to test the level of The Graet Leader cholesterol.
All result will be made public at the end of the week.
The Great Leader is in good spirit and conducts his day from his bed.
The Secretariat of the Ministry invite all citizens to leave a message for the Great Leader.

The Other Leaders

From the Ministry of FOREIGN AFFAIRS:

From his sick bed The Great Leader has take the time to express his feeling about the changing world.
In a rare akwnoledgment of other "minor" leaders, he welcomed the outcome of the general election in the Reign of Spain. He is confident in the future president Mr. Zapatero. However the Great Leader has not yet disclosed the intention to invite Mr. Zapatero, due probably to security reason here in America. Many americans are somehow convinced tha Mr. Zapatero is a terrorist.
Also the Great Leader has expressed gratitude to the Island of Jamaica Leadership, for the hosting of the ousted President of The Island of Haiti, Mr. Aristide. The Great Leader has repeated that he is not recognizing the new government of Haiti.

inno nazionale italiano

Fratelli d'Italia
L'Italia s'è desta,
Dell'elmo di Scipio
S'è cinta la testa.
Dov'è la Vittoria ?
Le porga la chioma,
Ché schiava di Roma
Iddio la creò.
Stringiamci a coorte
Siam pronti alla morte
L'Italia chiamò.

Noi siamo da secoli
Calpesti, derisi,
Perché non siam popolo,
Perché siam divisi.
Raccolgaci un'unica
Bandiera , una speme:
Di fonderci insieme
Già l'ora suonò.
Stringiamci a coorte
Siam pronti alla morte
L'Italia chiamò.

Uniamoci, amiamoci,
l'Unione, e l'amore
Rivelano ai Popoli
Le vie del Signore;
Giuriamo far libero
Il suolo natìo:
Uniti per Dio
Chi vincer ci può?
Stringiamci a coorte
Siam pronti alla morte
L'Italia chiamò.

Dall'Alpi a Sicilia
Dovunque è Legnano ,
Ogn'uom di Ferruccio
Ha il core, ha la mano,
I bimbi d'Italia
Si chiaman Balilla ,
Il suon d'ogni squilla
I Vespri suonò.
Stringiamci a coorte
Siam pronti alla morte
L'Italia chiamò.

Son giunchi che piegano
Le spade vendute:
Già l' Aquila d'Austria
Le penne ha perdute.
Il sangue d'Italia,
Il sangue Polacco,
Bevé, col cosacco,
Ma il cor le bruciò.
Stringiamci a coorte
Siam pronti alla morte
L'Italia chiamò

Il ruolo dell’artista

Il ruolo dell’artista, nel senso di persona creativa , e’ di tradurre il mondo intorno e quello interno, fatto di condizioni umane, di emozioni, di relazioni interpersonali, in un linguaggio che e’ comprensibile e non alienante fino al punto ultimo e cruciale di ispirare un altra persona, artista o non, al processo ininterrotto del passaggio della cultura da generazione in generazione.

L’artista deve essere un prete e uno scienziato allo stesso tempo, nel processo di assimilazione, fino a diventare un testimone nel rendimento. La responsabilita risiede nell’impegno dato nel processo culturale.

The Great Gift

The first time, while descending through the white clouds, I saw the land of America, a foreign patch of brown icy dirt and shallow waters, later to be known as Jamaica Bay, laid beneath me, with my great surprise it had no sign of human settlements. America was virginally naked upon my arrival, the first day of the month of December in the year 1991 .

I had left the Old World, the capital of the empire, a year after the Wall had fallen in the Iron Country of the Germans, the collapse of the Eastern Block had coincided with the end of my formal education. In an attempt to gather what I would be leaving there I had traveled the Boot up and down while the Pantera Movement spread rapidly in every corner of the Nation’s education establishment.

The Grand Exile was then laid out for me when a 20-kilogram marble head crushed my hand in the last day of the Occupation of the Academy.

While rushed into the preparation for the departure I had the time to release a document, known as The Great Gift, that was later distributed to all citizen of the Capital and the Province. This document , composed in a simple language , had 10 statements to outline the Commandments and Rules of the Mission.

1- Thou shall have life of plenty
2- Thou shall not prevent others from plenty
3- Thou shall lead ye self
4- Thou shall not lead others
5- Thou shall give to take
6- Thou shall not take to give
7- Thou shall fix what you break
8- Thou shall not leave traces
9- Thou shall not waste water
10- Thou shall not waste love
