OH, YE MORTALS

 

***

Oh, ye mortals always ready for slavery

the god was disgusted at such base servility

of these servants and all god’s interventions

in humans’ life started from the nausea

this creature eternally in his soul decants

his furies, hardly calming down his wrath

caused by offence he gives us an appalling

example of these dismembered times’ misfortune

and savagery ‒ thieves, informants, criminals

walk on our heads, a species of humans

that have become a public and natural calamity

that had never existed in other times swallow

the life, the air, the money sell all even what

is not for sale telling us that the war

is coming and the war will be hard, harsh

and bloody with innumerable dead people

and devastation. Even now, not far away

are lying down corpses of humans, the wounds

and the thirst killed them everything is infected

by pus, by stench, by epidemic and the cannibals

are no longer satiated by devouring human flesh

slaying one another. Zeus took the mortal by the hand

drew his attention to it by the fact that he doesn’t reign

that doesn’t mean he’s offended. The blows are

uncertain the wounds unexpected.
