«Filastrocca di Capodanno
fammi gli auguri per tutto l’anno:
voglio un gennaio col sole d’aprile,
un luglio fresco, un marzo gentile,
voglio un giorno senza sera,
voglio un mare senza bufera,
voglio un pane sempre fresco,
sul cipresso il fiore del pesco,
che siano amici il gatto e il cane,
che diano latte le fontane.
Se voglio troppo non darmi niente,
dammi una faccia allegra solamente».
Filastrocca di Capodanno - Gianni Rodari
Ultimamente ho visto "Il Signore degli anelli":
tre ore tra nani, maghi e cavalieri...
Sembrava una convention di Forza Italia...

Ciao Superuomo

-THEN WE ARE DECIDED-
CAIAPHAS
We've been sitting on the fence for far too long.
ANNAS
Why let him upset us?
Caiaphas, let him be.
All those imbeciles will see,
He really doesn't matter.
CAIAPHAS
Jesus is important,
We've let him go his way before.
And while he starts a major war,
We theorize and chatter.
ANNAS
He's just another scripture thumping hack from Galilee.
CAIAPHAS
The difference is they call him King,
The difference frightens me!
What about the Romans?
When they see King Jesus crowned,
Do you think they'll stand around,
Cheering, and applauding?
What about our people?
If they see we've lost our nerve,
Don't you think that they deserve,
Something more rewarding.
ANNAS
They've got what they want,
They think so, anyway.
If he's what they want,
Why take their toy away?
He's a craze!
CAIAPHAS
Put yourself in my place,
I can hardly step aside.
Can not let my hands be tied.
I am law and order.
What about our priesthood?
Don't you see that we could fall?
If we are to last at all,
We can not be divided.
ANNAS
Then say so to the council,
But don't rely on subtlety.
Frighten them, or they won't see.
CAIAPHAS
Then we are decided?
ANNAS
Then we are decided.
(Jesus Christ Superstar)
Heaven on Their Minds
- Judas -
My mind is clearer now.
At last all too well I can see where we all soon will be.
If you strip away the myth from the man,
You will see where we all soon will be.
Jesus!
You've started to believe
The things they say of you.
You really do believe
This talk of God is true.
And all the good you've done
Will soon get swept away.
You've begun to matter more than the things you say.
Listen Jesus I don't like what I see.
All I ask is that you listen to me.
And remember, I've been your right hand man all along.
You have set them all on fire.
They think they've found a new Messiah.
And they'll hurt you when they find they're wrong.
I remember when this whole thing began.
No talk of God then, we called you a man.
And believe me, my admiration for you hasn't died.
But every word you say today
Get's twisted 'round some other way.
And they'll hurt you if they think you've lied.
Nazareth, your famous son should have stayed a great unknown
Like his father carving wood
He'd have made good.
Tables, chairs, and oaken chests would have suited Jesus best.
He'd have caused nobody harm; no one alarm.
Listen, Jesus, do you care for your race?
Don't you see we must keep in our place?
We are occupied; have you forgotten how put down we are?
I am frightened by the crowd.
For we are getting much too loud.
And they'll crush us if we go too far.
Listen, Jesus, to the warning I give.
Please remember that I want us to live.
But it's sad to see our chances weakening with every hour.
All your followers are blind.
Too much heaven on their minds.
It was beautiful, but now it's sour.
Yes it's all gone sour.
(Jesus Christ Superstar)
So long Judas: love and light forever, Amen.

Carl Anderson
