followed a lesson that has moved, now ... that introducing the figure of a man of importance, our fellow citizen: Primo Levi.
To carry this even here the poem studied in class.
If this is a man
You who live safe In your warm houses,
you who are returning in the evening
hot food and friendly faces: Consider if this is a
man
who works in the mud Who knows no peace Who fights for a bread
dying for a yes or a no.
Consider if this is a woman with no hair and no name
no more strength to remember
eyes empty and her womb cold
like a frog in winter.
forget that this was:
Remember these words. Carve them in your heart
When at home because,
lying down, getting up.
Repeat them to your children. Or have you undone
Home,
the illness impede you, your
born twist their faces from you.
