Il Dio uomo<\/h1>\n

Ed ecco sentire
\nnel grembo di mia madre
\ngrida assordante che ribaltavano
\neco maschio
\ndi colui che sa tutto
\nche vuole tutto
\ne non si replica mai
\nal suo volere.
\nPotere messo l\u00ec dagli uomini
\npaurosi, che non ragionano
\nche non ascoltano
\nche non hanno un briciolo di umanit\u00e0.
\nIo gi\u00e0 nel grembo di mia madre
\nsapevo che venuta alla luce
\navrei dovuto piegare la testa
\nsenza oppormi
\nalla volont\u00e0 del
\nDio uomo sulla terra.
\nE come un Dio accettavo la sua voce
\ni suoi insulti
\nla sua ira.
\nIo donna
\nlo guardavo mentre crescevo
\ne guardando
\nquel Dio maschio
\nmi resi conto col tempo
\nquanto \u00e8 grande l\u2019amore
\ne la pazienza di una donna.<\/p>\n

The God-man<\/h1>\n

And here I feel
\nin my mother’s womb
\ndeafening cries that overturned
\nmale echo
\nof the one who knows everything
\nwho wants everything
\nand never replicates
\nto his will.
\nPower put there by men
\nfearful, who do not reason
\nwho do not listen
\nwho do not have an ounce of humanity.
\nI already in my mother’s womb
\nI knew that when I came into the world
\nI would have to bow my head
\nwithout opposing
\nthe will of the
\nGod man on earth.
\nAnd as a God I accepted his voice
\nhis insults
\nhis wrath.
\nI woman
\nwatched him as I grew
\nand watching
\nthat male God
\nI realised in time
\nhow great is the love
\nand patience of a woman.<\/p>\n

Review<\/span><\/h2>\n

The poem offers an intense and heart-rending reflection on the condition of women forced to live in relationships of subjugation and violence, the result of a deeply rooted macho culture. With powerful and evocative imagery, the author describes how from the womb, the \u2018deafening cries\u2019 of an oppressive reality begin to be heard. This reference to the male echo underlines how power and authority are often exercised by men who, out of fear and lack of empathy, refuse to recognise the dignity and value of women.<\/span><\/p>\n

The use of the figure of the \u2018God-man\u2019 represents an incisive criticism of the dominant mentality that considers women as subordinates and slaves, deprived of their dignity and forced to bend to a will that does not recognise their humanity. The author describes the pain and powerlessness that accompany a life lived in the shadow of insults and violence, highlighting how difficult it is for a woman to find her voice in a world that silences her.<\/span><\/p>\n

Her ability to recognise \u2018how great is a woman’s love and patience\u2019 not only highlights female resilience, but also the sacrifice and strength required to face adversity. This observation is a powerful reminder of the importance of liberating women from the culture of subjugation, promoting a society in which respect and love can prevail.<\/span><\/p>\n

In conclusion, the poem is a cry of pain and a testimony to the suffering of women living in a system that considers them as worthless objects. With her emotional depth and incisive criticism of the macho mentality, the author invites the reader to reflect on the urgency of a cultural and social change that finally recognises the voice and dignity of every woman.<\/span><\/p>\n
